I desided to try my hand at making a back quiver. If the pick works, here it is.

Mighty nice! I'd say you've done some leather work before. Looks great!!
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.
Sweet!How much for 1 just like it?LOL Nice quiver.
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.

Man that is nice! You may have a future crafting back quivers.
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 WORK!!! I am into my second one and am impressed with you level of craftsmanship. I love the strap and the overall design. That baby should last a lifetime! Good job Joker!
Nice work! That is a beautiful quiver and you can wear it with pride knowing that you made it yourself.
VERY VERY NICE ! I really like the color, style, well done !!! Know if i can just learn to do this ! >>>------------>RIVERWOLF
kNOW==NOW !
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.

Steve, That is a gorgeous quiver! You have a great eye and I definately appreciate that stitch work! You are talented but I don't have to tell you that! :thumbsup: Excellent work!
Shell
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
