You maybe recognized it already in the birch bow topic, but I thought this suits better to here.
The bark is from a walnut harvest in summer.
I wanted to work with it until it was wet and soaky but we were heading out for vacations so I stuffed two glass bottles in it. When I came back it was already dry...but the shape was ok.
I took a oscillate cutter to get a good edge at the joint. this was an adventure to sew together. First I wanted to do this with something more primitive than paracord, but this was already hard to get through the holes.(nevertheless its all one piece for survival arguments
)
The lid is made of a splitted cherry shingle fixed with some leather cords.
The bottom I´m not sure which wood it is, I guess its elderberry.
It can contain 8 arrows nicely up to a overall lenght of 30", mine are a bit longer - like this its easy to get the arrows back, but I made a nose at the lid as well, to open it. I do this with the shaft.
I sealed it with tung oil except the rough bark of course.
It needed two more pairs of holes to adjust and get it sit right on the back.
This quiver is very silent when you put some cork on the bottom, keeps the fletching dry, and for drawing an arrow less movement is affordable. (This is not so important to me, bowhunting isn't allowed in Austria, but it is also very comfortable.
I binded a black leather throttle to the bottom hook, don't know yet how ergonomic this will be to use
hope you like it
