Got a chance to get out for a couple hours and decided to give a woven quiver a try. Cut some small saplings and split them along the length. Cut a poplar tree about 3 inches round and stripped bark. Used the bark to tie the splits together at the bottom, then began weaving the bark to make a quiver. The top or stopping point was the hardest to make neat but it was my first. Needs to dry for a while now.

Thanks, I plan on putting moss in the bottom when using hunting points. Also plan on a braintan strap. I made the quiver to be very rustic looking and I think I accomplished that..it is surprisingly light weight also and will get lighter as it drys. Only took about an hour and half to make.

Didn,t mention it above but I am using the small poplar tree to make a spear, so I am using almot all the sapling.

Looks good about how long did it take you to make it?

That's just cool right there.

Thanks everyone, I am finding as it dries the bark is shrinking a lot more than anticipated. I have started pushing it down to keep it tight and have lost 3-4 inches on the top. I will need to get some more strips to repair it. If you make one, make it about 6 inches longer than you want. That's the great part to doing these projects, learning what will happen and how to prepare for it.
