Hey Gang,
   I was wondering if I could get some information on how to build a lakota side quiver. Thanks for the help! Cheers, Matt

Thank you Jerald for the link. What a dummy I am, I didn't mean a lakota quiver, but an over the shoulder side quiver like this:

Several years ago I made something similiar.  You can make your own design.  Use poster board and cut it out.  Tape it together and see how it works.  Then correct the posterboard, untape it and you have a pattern for your leather.

I used scrap linoleum (vinyl actually) for my pattern.  Definitely helps to design it with something other than leather first.

It is harder to explain in type, but if you are only talking about the arrow holding part, it is basically a tube...pretty easy to make.  If you want to add pockets, etc...a design is helpful, but for this type of quiver, a rectanglular piece of leather, a bit longer than your arrows maybe 18's wide folded and stitched to make a tube is basically it (overlap the side and punch holes, stitch with leather lace, hole every inch or so)...cut a hole to retrieve arrows, add bottom, attach strap in right place (this is hardest/most important part...look at pics, that is about right ).

You'll need 8oz+ leather for this type of project.  I've made a bunch.  

hidehandler.com was really the first like this...others have followed...Jack somebody has a simialr type which is a bit easier top make.

I've made a bunch like this...I can take some pics maybe later this eve...feel free to question away.

email James Wrenn..he has a website with plans for a quiver that us very similar

Thanks fellas. That's a good idea to make a pattern first before cutting the leather. A couple questions:
Would it be advised to line it with something to reduce feather noise when removing arrows?
Is there anything that is needed to stiffen the tube so it doesn't collapse?
Thanks for the help. Also, any pics would be great. Cheers, Matt

Anybody?

I think the heavier weight cowhide is pretty stiff naturally. They have a name for that stiff craft leather but can't think of it off hand.  Your leather dealer should be able to steer (no pun intended) you in the right direction. Not sure if a lining is necessary for that style of quiver as I've never used one.  I'm not sure how it would hurt.

How about this
