Title: Coon Skin Quiver
Post by: Mechslasher on May 28, 2007, 01:20:00 PM
here's a quiver i just finished. i've been wanting to make a quiver like this for years and the article by steve sell in pa mag finally made me get to work on it. i went a step further and used sapphires for the eyes, almost 40 carats worth. enjoy!

Now that is a cool quiver, i saw a tanned skunk hide the other day now I'm thinking that would make a good quiver.

thanks fellows!  this quiver will hold at least six arrows with broadheads and maybe ten fieldpoints.  trad, i bought everything off **** to make this quiver.  i think i have around $60-70 in the quiver.  the wife was kind of jealous when she saw the sapphires, she loves sapphires.  these are not jewlery grade, i think i paid around $8 for each of the almost 20 carat jewels.  i think they set it off, i didn't like the look of empty eyes.

I've gotta fox skin I've been wantin' to do the same thing with. Figure I'd just buy some eyes from a taxidermy supply.
It looks great. I think I'd be kinda afraid to wear it in the woods though.  Good job.

That is beautiful work!! I like the fletching on those arrows too. I've got a serious case of "Gear Envy".    :notworthy:    :notworthy:    :notworthy:    :clapper:
