[AncientArcher76]

Hey guys I make bows arrows an knapping some good heads! All I need now is to make a quiver.  I have a 2 ft by 4 ft piece of rusty brown buffalo hide and that's about it.  Any ideas are welcome and always appreciated.

Thanx,

What kind of quiver are you wanting, back quiver or hip quiver.

Here is a detailed build-along for one I made from wildboar; maybe that would be of help for you:

Here's a buildalong I recently posted that worked for me.  I need to post my finished strap, though.

What sort of quiver would you think of??

[AncientArcher76]

Hey Frank sorry didnt get back to u.  I'm looking to make a back quiver.  It don't need to be fancy simple rustic and thats it.  I have a big piece of buffalo hide also I was wondering if I were to make a basket quiver could I use fresh green leaves off of catails.  I guess fitter time I ought to make it from hide.  Don't know what u think???  Help me guys!

Thanx

if you have a 2 foot by 4 foot piece, just fold it over and sew it up.  then youll be able to hold all the arrows youd ever need! course, you  should probably cut a strip of leather 4 foot by 2 or so inches wide.  then fold and sew!  haha

Wow I could have guessed that much I know I can fold it over and sew...lol And dmass  I didnt see any picture in ur post.  Its ok I can figure it out I have a big piece of leather but been studying Iroquios and figured on posiible basket quiver..  Hey now post ur quiver lets see what u all got!
