Also I have put a couple of cotes Obenauf's leather preservative on it so far, what do you use to soften yoours up? a bit of leather preservative at first, then take it out on a lotta dates in the woods - seriouslyI'd love to see some pictures of yours and any other words of wisdom you may have. i really like yer quiver - now go on outside and USE it!
