Thanks Aaron! Now that I got the tube done it's time to do the leather work!

Well it's time for an update. I got a little bit of work done today. Pearly was nice enough to send me a piece of sheep shearling to line the tube with. (Thanks Chris!) I measured the inside circumference and the length I wanted. Measured and marked the shearling and cut it out. I'm no seamstress but I managed to sew it together by hand. It's nowhere near straight but you can't tell in the tube. I test fitted it and cut the crooked end square. Using an arrow I I pushed it in the tube. Then applied some masters leather cement inside the edges as far as I could reach. Using the arrow I worked it around the the glue. Then I glued the outer edge of the top about 1.5 inches down. Then rolled the shearling over the top edge and down about 2 inches. It was a good tight fit and I'm pleased with the results. I'm not sure how I will dress up the edge of the shearling on the outside yet. Any suggestions would be awesome?
I started on the leather cap for the bottom also.  I took a thick piece of leather and traced out the shape of the bottom of the tube on it. Cut it out and glued it to the bottom with masters cement. Now I need to make a leather end cap. I played with some leather trying to wet form it over the end. But I'm not sure how that's going to work wen I roll it over the edge. I might make a 2 piece leather bottom. Any suggestions or pictures would be great?
Here is a few pictures of where I'm at right now.

For the bottom a nice tight fit would be great but in lieu could you punch holes around the edge of the leather and lace it tight?

[lebhuntfish]

Thats kinda what I thought about doing if I can get the pucker around the edges to look right if not I will stitch up a two piece bottom like a cup and us that.

It's looking good.  You better hurry and finish that up Patrick.  The Classic is only 2 weeks away.

[lebhuntfish]

Thanks Clint! I wish I could go to the classic,  I'm sorry I'll miss the redneck remadas maiden voyage. I need to have this quiver done by mojam though. The way my projects go I might have to hurry anyways.

That looks good Patrick. Should be very quiet to carry and use now.

[lebhuntfish]

Thanks Pearl,  yeah I dropped 3 or 4 arrows in it and shook it around. The only noise I heard was from the arrows hitting themselves. What a big difference.

Ok guy's,  I've been home sick the last couple of days so I've been messing with the leather portion of this build. I'm pretty pleased as to how everything come out. The only thing is I'm not sure about the position of the top strap. I've already set it in place but with a little work I can move it. I think I need to put it just under the shearling at the top. What do ya'll think? I left the stitching ends long so I could add some decorations if I decide to. I am putting some elk antler buttons on. Any other ideas?
Here's a few pictures. Any advice is welcome!

One suggestion.  Make me one just like it. I got more bamboo!

[Knoll]

Sharp! Maybe use it a bit to decide if strap should be moved up.

Dig, dig, diggity!
