i played a few hours hooky from work today after finding some left over pieces of heavy leather.
i winged this side quiver without any preconceived plans, just using the piece of 10oz latigo, 9" x 23", and another scrap piece about 6" x 10". i used twisted quadrupled b50 string fiber for all stitching through pre-punched holes that i also sorta just punched as i went along. it actually works quite well, but need to take it afield for a real shakedown as to hunting functionality. the added leather pieces up front and rear were stitched on to add necessary diameter and strap control.

Excellent! I like the look of the stitching. I switched to a stalker type quiver last year and love it! Can't see going back< Thanks for sharing. .

A few hours? Amazing.....I keep seeing nothing but talent associated with everything you do.

That looks well cool mate ! good job !
I use them more and more as hunting quivers as they let me carry a back pack etc and I like being able to draw my arrows with little movement .
I, too tried to build my own . Lets just say that my efforts , unlike yours, were less than successful ... function and form both missed the boat ! ended up making some nice tabs ....

For sizing , did you just wrap iy round a pvc pipe kinda thing ?

Nice looking quiver! I also really like the stitching. If you're happy with your "shakedown" maybe a "build-along" would be in order.

Very crafty Rob, nice job!

I'm also a big advocate of making things myself if I can. There is a limit to what one can do, but why buy what you can make yourself.
That's true traditional intuition at it's finest, the old timers had to make their own tack and didn't really have a choice in the matter.

Good Job Rob, would have taken me at least 2 days to plan her out. Let alone put her together. Thanks for the pics, pretty nice looking quiver.

Your talent extends well beyond computers, that's for sure.

Very nicely done!
