I saw a similar design to this on youtube and decided to reverse engineer it. It's not an exact copy, but I took(stole) some very neat ideas from it, lol. Also, first time trying uploading via photobucket. Hope everyone likes it.

Photos not working @CloudFeather !
-
Should be good now, thanks. :)
-
Wow! Just Wow!!
That's so beautiful send me one 😂
Well done, amazing craftsmanship.
-
Thank you, sir!
I have to give a lot of credit to whoever came up with the design originally. I'm good with the tedious bit and reverse engineering though. Lol
I'm going to try and make some construction paper templates for future builds. Maybe refine the process a little bit.
-
Definitely, but to me, it's close to perfect.
I'd add some more details in the back leather strap connecting the quiver to the front of the mannequin on the left arm.. Maybe some floral designs etc..
-
I thought about that, but I'm leaving it open for future, smaller straps. To be used for a hatchet, pouch, or something like that.
-
Great work
-
I like it!
-
Very nice!
-
I like it.
-
Very nice but sure would be hot down South.
-
Beautiful 8)
What is the interior fur?
Would you make the next one lighter?
Zuma
-
Thanks, guys.
Zuma - The interior fur is beaver. And I don't think I would make it lighter, as it wears fairly light when you have it on. Just make some slight modifications to a couple dimensions and maybe improve upon the strap design.
-
Nothing to improve man that is looking great
-
Thanks Cloud,
I was wondering if the distribution of
weight and balance would do the job. ;)

Nice work and nice engineering Cloud. Back quivers were always a problem for me because gravity has too much affects on them. This one should alleviate those problems.
-
Nice quiver, very well made 8), the harnessing looks very stabilizing and comfortable. Tidy.
Ruddy.
-
That is very nice, nice work for sure. :)

I am very impressed with the design and workman ship. Would like to have that pattern. Back quivers usually are a pain for riding a horse into the mountains, but that one would be perfect. Joe

The main body is just made of square pieces, very simple. The straps are what got tricky. I could pm you some rough dimensions later, when I get home.
-
Cloud: I would like to make a trade for the shoulder and strap patterns. I have elk horns if they can be shipped in pieces I could UPS! Joe
-
Like actual leather pieces?
-
Cloud: No I do a lot of leather work and some of my projects I have made a foldable plastic template for a pattern. I try to use a plastic material that I can trace around and fold up to put out of the way when not in use! Even a paper grocery bag would work. Thanks for considering helping me out! Joe
-
I need to make templates anyway. Soon as I do, I'll hook you up.
-
Super quiver I'll call that one Cloudfeather!!!!!!!.Expert work!!!!!.That one should stay high and tight to your back no matter what you do.One thing though in the summertime with sweating and all I hope your leather is sealed good.Otherwise the dye could stain up your tee shirt a bit.
-
Thanks, Beadman. I sealed it with a wax paste I made from beeswax, linseed oil and turpentine. Rubbed in and heat gunned. She's waterproof. :)
-
... She's waterproof. :)
Even better!
