Title: Back Quiver, woven basket style
Post by: Grunt on June 25, 2010, 07:32:28 pm

One of my latest quivers. 3/8 reed ribs, 1/4 reed weavers, red trade cloth, glass pony beads, leather strap. Four inch diameter at top. Works good!

Pat, I have cheated a bit by cranking my big lathe up and turning a wooden tapered form to weave around. Makes nice tight quivers almost too easy.

I've seen them done that way but never done it myself. I can see how it would keep the shape consistent. Not cheating at all. Ingenious!!!  8)
