I was gifted this tanned yote hide and I would like to make a Lakota style quiver.
I'm thinking of making it with a split veg tanned cow hide and then overlay the yote on that.
The question, how is a good way to attach the hide to the veg tanned?
Your experience is appreciated.
I've never worked with hair on leather before and I don't want to mess it up.[attachment=1]

I can't help ya with your question but, sure do look forward to the outcome! Good luck with this!
I made a fed fox back quiver for a fellow and used Barge cement when gluing the hide to interior leather liner. Worked well . Good luck with your project and would like to see the finished quiver.
Yet one more looker. Used to try to shoot coyotes just for the hope of getting a pelt to try this out. I'm curious to see who has done it and how they did it as well.
I like to work with contact cement. Leather Weld from Tandy works very well also. >>>----> Ken
Thanks.
I was thinking of Barge Cement but I didn't think about the leather weld. That seems like the best idea.
good luck I will watch for your progress, enjoy the process its fun, regards wayne
I made a back quiver that way. I used barge cement but also laced it into the project. Worked out well. Also, I cut the head off, and then stitched it on backwards so it looked good for the quiver.
Here's a pic
When cutting out your pattern on the hide, do it from the flesh side and use a sharp razor to cut it out otherwise you will have hair all over the place. I've made a couple of coyote Plains style quivers. If I can I will post pics. Photobucket has most of them and my computer crashed with my back-ups.
If you use veg tanned leather use thin(4oz or less) for the lining. You can also use garment grade leather for Plains style and a stiffener stick to attach the strap to. Just laminating the hide to the leather will stiffen it up quite a bit. Also stitch from the inside and even cut the hair short along the stitch lines or you'll be pulling the hair through the stitch holes.
I've used Barge and Weldwood contact cement, both with good results. They are both very similar.
Thanks for the info, probably going to start on it by the end of the month.
I'm not sure, but I'm thinking of using the tail for a fringe around the mouth of the quiver.
I do like the idea of cutting the head off and turning it back on the rest of the hide.
I used the head(face) as a flap on a removable possibles bag that attached to the stiffener stick.
I'm posting this for Pat

Did you get the second email with pics of another quiver? That other was the first one I made a few years ago. The one in these pics I donated to the raffle table at the Tenn. Classic 2 years ago.
Those pictures were all I got. :dunno:
I just resent them.

As you can see, I didn't laminate the hide to a sleeve but added a piece of the red garment leather to the bottom of the quiver body covering the stitching and protecting the coyote quiver from sharp broadheads. A Plains style quiver doesn't need the extra body because the stiffener stick supports the quiver body and like with some soft back quivers the quiver holds the arrows by collapsing on them.
Those are neat looking quivers. :thumbsup:
