Title: Wildebeest armguard and quiver
Post by: osage outlaw on April 24, 2012, 07:53:55 pm

Here is a quiver and armguard that I made from a wildebeest hide.  I made the straps for the armguard like an endless loop bowstring.  I probably won't do that again.  All the serving in tight spaces was a major pain and it took forever.  The buttons are deer antler.

The quiver turned out OK.  I attached the tail to the bottom of it just for fun.  I am not very good at stitching.  I am going to take the strap off, turn it around, and change the angle on the upper side where it attatches to the quiver.

Great work!  I've never seen wildbeest used before, but I really like it.

Very nice......I have been aiming to do one of those myself.  Made a small one a while back for a young fellow out of Longhorn.

Nice.  Like Pearl said, those arrows look pretty good too.  How was the hide to work?  Is is tough?

The hide had some thick and some thin areas.  It was pretty flexible so it wasn't bad to work with at all.  On the armguard I backed it with a piece of leather to thicken it up.
