Title: Made me a back quiver
Post by: JOKER on January 23, 2007, 07:11:00 AM
I desided to try my hand at making a back quiver. If the pick works, here it is.

That's a good lookin' quiver, great job Joker.  What kind of leather did you use?

I used the 6/7 oz soft oil taned leather from Brettuns Village. I made the top, botom and strap double thickness. It was alot more work than I thought when I first started, But of course I kept getting biger and beter ideas as the project whent on.

Beautiful looking quiver.  I'm getting ready to start one for my little boy (small scale).  How did you attach the shoulder strap?  Or maybe I should say where?  Is there a way for attaching it for a left or right handed shooter that makes it ride better.  Sorry if I'm hijacking this but couldn't get a really good answer of this from other threads I found.

Aaron, I will put up some picks of where I attached my strap. Yes, it would be different for left and right. I made a cardboard quiver from my templet and taped a nylon strap to it to decide about where I wanted it. I also taped the real strap to the quiver and checked it for use and fit beffor I atached it.

Thanks for the complaments guys. To much work in it and I have to little time to think about marketing it right now. It was lots of fun to make this one though and I would be glad to give anyone advice if they wanted to make one.

Dale, I live in south central Pa. (mercersburg), changed my profile to show that now. Steve

I don't know Joker. You might want to take it back to formula...start over on one and send me that one. No need in it going to waste. I'll find something to do with it... ;)

Beautiful job!  It looks like it would ride just right on your shoulder. You did a good job on the stiching. With that cross pattern, you had to punch 4 times as many holes. OUCH! And if you're anything like the rest of us, you have about a dozen ideas for the next quiver.

You guys are right, it is alot of hole punching and alot of sore fingers. It was fun to do and I will enjoy useing it. I can also tell you that the people (like shell) who make quivers to sale are doing it because they like to do it, not to make money.  Steve
