Nahhhh, we steal all of our stuff when ya'll are busy at the refresment stands, at 3 D shoots !!
I'm sorry, I just could'nt resist myself.
It's late, my wife's and I's anaversery night, a little wine, well, what can I say, yea, I'm ornery.  ;)
There are a lot of folks on here that do that for a hobby, and some for a living. I'm sure someone will answer to the call, with what you are looking for. If you could get the material, it's really alot of fun, and better to make it yourself. if you looking for a "ready made quiver", the classified section has a pretty good listing. But I'm sure someone will send you a PM and help you out.

There's a local guy in edinburg that makes some very nice quivers. I have one of his back quivers and I've owned one of his side quivers. If you want more info pm me and I'll give you his phone number

From that thread:

QuoteOriginally posted by sticshooter:
Guys first I want to thank you for your kind words. I and Shell are fine. Shell is stressed about falling behind on some orders . I want to say I am sorry for any deals or trades that took so long. I never meant to make trades or deals and then not follow through on them in a timely manner. When I started making stuff I was not working. Now that I am back to work we have been taking longer to get stuff shipped out. The weather has been cold  and no heat in the shop. But I should have tuffed it out and went out there anyways. But I did'nt and for that I am very sorry. Shell had a nasty cut on her hand and could not do much work on quivers. Which is why she fell so far behind. She is trying to catch up as fast as she can so everyone can get there stuff asap. We take full responsibility for dropping the ball and appreciate everybody who has order stuff from us. We value out trad gang family and I would never want anyone to think that we were  being slack in getting the orders finished on time. If anyone has a concern please contact me via email. Thanks<><
I stressed patience in my first post.  I think once Shell gets caught up with her current work load, she will once again take orders.

I can speak for Mike G's work and heart---both as good as I've seen.

i've owned a Catts quiver and must say it was very fine as well

I got a back quiver from Steve Catts last month and it has exceeded my expectations.  It did take a little while to get, but man was it worth the wait!  I got the Nottingham Elite and I am sure it will out live me.

Just wanted thank Jake for the kind words but mainly to post and stress what everyone says about all the other fine craftsmen on here...Mike G, Steve Catts, Mr.Vic....they are ALL excellent leathercrafters and you will be very happy with their quality and work...each have there own style which make them very special to their customers and if you did decide to make your own, be careful, it can be very addictive!!

I do want to say that I did fall behind due to several things and that I don't use any machines (all by hand as many on here do also) so it was very difficult getting things done due to filleting my index finger knuckle joint to the bone and slicing open the vein that runs over the knuckle bone...took some time to finally close the vein where I could put pressure on it again without popping open (heavy and taught stitching). I want to concentrate on these final orders....I have rephrased my thread...was in a hurry, I will start back up after I get my current orders finished before I could commit to any more....I really want to concentrate on what I am able to do at the moment. I am humbled to make them and that they are liked by others too especially with all the talent on here.

Again, thanks for your understanding and should you decide on any of these great craftsmen, you will not be disappointed at all, they are great people to work with and outstanding in their work.

Shell, sorry to hear about your finger! Yikes! Hope it all heals well.

INstickbow, DesertDude makes some beautiful ones as a hobby. You might be able to coax him into doing one.
