Hunting quiver

[BowEd]

Here's a quiver I'm using made recently made from some thick brain tanned elk.25" long for my 30" long arrows.Mostly hand sewn.It has a canvas and trade wool shoulder strap with leather lace and a milkweed wind detector attatched.It has a rawhide and 1/4 " thick veg tanned bottom.A 2.5" diameter quiver holding 4 dogwood broadheads.A little beadwork of a saw tooth design on the ends using #11 pony trader blues and greasy yellows seed beads.
Long ago I made arrow shafts from osage.They turned out to be too weak in spine for their weight.I used one of those as a stiffener stick.I used a sinew wrap on the ends to make them bulbous to prevent any slippage or shifting.
First snow of the winter in the background also.

Very nice Ed. Everything about it. Hunting quivers are very personal things and you sure added your personal touches to this one. 
 Is that the Ukrainian flag in the inside bottom?

As much as the Ukrainian war has been on TV it's an understandable question about the colors.Some of the most courageous people on the planet.That would be fitting if that was the intention.
Facts are the Siouw used these colors painting on their shirts and war shields regularly.Along with green,red,and black also.
I wear it differently while in the stand than my cat quivers which are hung off to my right side.I wear it in front of me for easy access without much arm movement for another arrow.

Thanks Bob....
I've sewn some brain tan onto the shoulder strap now for some type of pattern of beadwork.I have an idea for it.I'll figure it out.

I agree with you 100% about the Ukrainians Ed.

Beautiful work on the quiver.

Came up with this to cover and decorate the dark blue trade cloth on the shoulder strap.An 18" long 9/16" wide strip of brain tan to do beadwork on.I tried to simulate arrows with some blocking in midway.Some #11 brown and white seed beads.To do this type the beads need to be pretty uniformally the same size from color to color.Satisfied enough for me anyway.
These type straps I make can be transferred onto any quiver with a stiffener.Plenty tough to take the abuse also.




Beaded shoulder strips on war shirts are beaded this same way only with wider bands.
