I just hunt and I switched to a Safari Tuff quiver. I find it better for me for hunting.
PS - I forgot I had one of Howard Hill Archery's high end quivers. I think they were made in Germany. That was a nice quiver too. Too bad HHA doesn't carry them anymore.

Your personal quiver is really nice, what type of leather did you use?

I buy from Tandy or Springfield Leather Co. I've had good luck with both. It's best if you can view it before buying if possible.
I buy from Springfield Leather also. Very helpful and quality stuff. I may have to give making a Hill quiver a try.

Maclean my nearest leather supplier is in Des Moines around 100mi for me as well. I like looking over the leather if possible, so we make the trip every so often. I've ordered it from Springfield many times with good results. You can call them and tell them what you're looking for.
All of my leather projects so far have been small. After seeing the quivers you guys are making has piqued my interest in larger projects. But it's a whole order of magnitude different.
Any good resources out there for this type of leather work, covering the basics of leather type and specialized tools, etc.?

As far as tools a rotary hole punch and a razor knife will do what you need for a Hill style quiver.
I make a pattern from poster board so I can make adjustments before you cut into the leather.
When I get a hide or half hide I cut a straight edge along the back and cut shoulder straps and gussets along this straight edge. Down the center of the back is the strongest most consistent part of the hide
Remember that hides stretch across the hide and have less stretch lengthwise so set up your pattern to deal with these qualities.
