Thanks guy's!

Thought I'd go ahead and edit the post above to include the plan drawings. This quiver was built as I went. The plans were all from my head and the drawing and slideshow is meant to help and inspire anyone needing to make one. When I seached for plans, I only found 23 threads here on TRADGANG that included those words "PLAINS QUIVER". Not one thread was a complete build but they were very informative. Several long term members had pitched in on those threads to provide answers to questions other's had posed. Patb, Killy, Jeff from (NZ),  Jeremy & etc. provided wonderful pics and explanations!
I just wanted to add to TG, a thread that covers the subject a bit more,,, so as when others do a seach for such, they have a chance to be even better informed than before.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are many variations one could impose on this PLAINS QUIVER design (i.e. flat, oval, round, etc.) but, I  hope these plans give you something to think about when building your handmade PLAINS QUIVER.

       I'll place my mark on this and pass it along to Tony Chinn. He provided the leather and some trade goods for my labor. THANKS TONY! Hope you like it. It should go well with and osage selfbow     :cool:

Joe, pretty awesome job and I really liked the sketch and pics.    This needs to be added to the how to section.

I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this.

Nice work, Joe. The build along will be helpful for someone wanting to build a Plains type quiver.

If I may suggest...if you dye the quiver before you lace it together it is easier to control the color. You did a fine job with the coloration as you did it but give my way a try and see if it isn't easier.

[Osagetree]

Thanks Pat but, it is not dye, it is the natural tones of the leather brought out by the Neets foot oil I applied. Applying this after completion rather than before allows the leather to remain stiff and for me easier to work  during construction. Then, soften it up with the oil when done. Baseball glove conditioner works really well too!
