Those are beautiful!!!!  I am getting my new Tim Roberts arm guard this week and very much looking forward to it.  He does some awesome work.  Those are very nice arrows in your quiver.  Did you make them yourself?  They look like they deserve their own picture.  I will try this weekend to send you pictures of some of my Catts projects.

Wow!  Really cool website Big Si.  I am a very high end kitchen carpenter and can appreciate good work.  I love seeing things built well and in an old style.  I could share stories with you on some of the projects we have remodeled in old houses.  We are soing a kitchen in a 1700's house right now.  I will e-mail you pictures of my leatherwork this weekend.

I have purchased leather goods from Mr. Catts and his work is superb.  That is a beauty, Big Si.  I would love to see the arrows too.  

I got my new quiver from Mike at M.A.L.  The quiver I got is a version of the "Calico" quiver he posted in this forum a few months back.  I am very happy with the quality of his work.  

Fortunately for Mike, I am not able to post pictures of this quiver in this forum.  If I could he would never have time to go to the range ever again ....    :p    :p
