Elk leather back quiver
« on: October 20, 2014, 12:13:17 pm »
This is my latest back quiver.  I made it quite small for hunting, it will hold 3 arrows nicely and can fit a few more if needed.  It is made from brown and black dyed elk leather, with black sheep skin trim at the opening.  It has a couple elk antler buttons and a couple turkey feathers for decoration.  It was hand sewn with artificial sinew around the edges, and the shoulder strap was laced to the quiver with more elk hide. I really like the way this one fits and I will probably make more of this design in the future.

Thanks Don, my wife laughs at me when I first finish them and wear them around the house!  She asks where my loin cloth is.  ;D

That's sharp right there! And adequately sized for a hunting quiver.

Looks sharp!  Strap attachment looks interesting ... got any closeups?

Very cool,  I need to get me one made. I carried my 4 arrows to the woods the other day! Patrick

Is there foam or padding in the bottom of it?

No Shane, it is all leather.  Other than the piece of bamboo inside for rigidity.
