Thanks everyone for the comments. Bud, I've used the antler pieces on a couple of other quivers I've made.  I think they give it kind of an "old school" look. This one sits flat against my back and holds the arrows well.  I can bend over with a full quiver and not lose a single arrow.

That is exactly how a properly made quiver is supposed to work.  You did well indeed.

Very nice job Rick,  it looks pretty deep?  That and the design sure helps with a Hill style quiver.

Is that the leather that comes pink and very stiff?  If so, what do you do to soften it and get the nice brown color?

This was a very light tan color and not real stiff.  I applied 3 coats of olive oil with a small paint brush and let it soak in between coats which darkened the leather nicely and really softened it up.  I finished it up by rubbing in mink oil.

Beautiful job, was wondering Rick, the cost and time to complete the quiver?
Thanks

Bought the leather off the big auction site and picked up the lacing at a hobby shop.  Probably have $75-80.00 in materials and roughly 6-8 hours time over a period of a couple weeks.

I think he said 5-6oz on page two. That's a good weight if you want a nice easliy broken in quiver. I have a homemade one in 5-6oz and love it.

Beautiful looking quiver. Haven't tried a back quiver yet, yours looks really comfortable and functional.
Is the strap laced on fairly straight up and down, or did you offset them some?

The shoulder strap is set up for a right hand shooter.

It's interesting that one of the best fitting quivers I own was made by John Hale back when he was selling them at shoots.  The strap is dead center top and bottom and so works great for either hand.  John sold bunches of these inexpensive quivers for years before he stopped.  He didn't use especially high quality leather so he could sell them at a very affordable price.  Mine is still as good as new even after years of steady use.  

Rick, that is really nice work.  You can be proud of that one.  :thumbsup:
