Bladepeek,

My quiver I use is from a 7/8oz bullhide double shoulder. Once it is oiled properly and allowed some break-in time it's nice and soft in the right places and holds its shape in the right places. Go ahead and start your quiver.

Where are you buying it from?  I think I am going to try to make one next winter.

Here is my back quiver I made this past winter

 
 
 

And here is one I just finish at the beginning of this summer
My version of an Asbell style. Copied the idea from a post that was listed earlier this year by I believe Pat Brennan. Could be mistaken about that though....

That's beautiful work Bud!

Here are a couple of my back quivers... The one on the left is the one that Bud made for me in the St Jude's auction. I made the one on the right several years ago.

I hope it's doing well by you Ben. It looks nice next to your fancy one    You do nice work!!

Brother Bud,
I really am enjoying the quiver. She is loaded with files, string, stringer and few other things. I used the quiver at the last 3D that I attended and I received a lot of compliments about your fine made quiver. Thanks Brother!!!

Wife knitted the body, I stitched at the strap and stuffed it with arrow tubes so broadheads didn't catch (not that I have any usable ones.)  I almost feel bad for messing up my wife's handiwork.

She makes awesome knit hats, as well.

That's pretty cool!

 Very nice work. What color are you planning on dyeing it? I always dread making the bottom.

This one isn't a back quiver, but will show you how I do the bottoms whether round, square, oval, whatever. I cut a heavy cardboard pattern to just fit into the bottom. I use this pattern to cut two pieces of heavy (8-9 oz maybe) leather. Glue these together. Then I cut another piece of light leather (4-5 oz) about 1/2" larger all the way around and glue the first two pieces of heavy leather in the center of the flesh side of the light piece.

Then, you just push the whole works up into the quiver so you have it inset about 3/8". The thin leather can be glued to the inside of the quiver sides and then punched and laced or sewn in place. Makes a nice, flat bottom that no broadhead is going to punch through.

Thanks for that tip BP.  Nice looking SQ.  I have a couple of them...neither of which is exactly what I want.  Would you mind sharing pics of your entire quiver as I see what looks to be a stiffener in it, and the one quiver I like the best needs me to do something like that to is.  Just fishing for ideas.
Thanks

Nice thread with some awesome looking quivers.

[BarrBow]

Bladepeek,

 That's a great looking side quiver. I do very similar process as you when I put the bottom in... But I never thought to glue it first. That would make punching the holes one step instead of two, and also make it much easier to align holes! Great tip.

[Bladepeek]

Green, here's the rest of that side quiver. Wish I could claim to have designed it, but I stole it from a build-along on another site with a couple very minor modifications. Works well. The stiffener is 1/8" steel rod. I made the sleeves a bit small and had to pound the wire down into them after greasing it up a bit    

PM me if you want to discuss it, as I really feel that I'm now stealing a thread that was about back quivers.

BP - Just completed the idea we discussed via email.  Thanks for the link/pics.  Sorry y'all for the hijack.

My favorite "back quiver". Though not your traditional over the shoulder draw style. It rides along my back at my right hand side and allows a side draw. It fully protects the fletchings and never gets in the way while hunting.

 I consider this more of a back quiver then a typical sling style side draw quiver because of how it rides vertically along my back and is held in place with a nice belt with matching leather pouch on it. I bought this at a local traditional shop in Kutztown PA years ago and have no idea who made it and have looked online and haven't seen anything close to it. If anyone knows who made it or someone that makes one very close to it I'd love the help as I'm looking to get one like it for the girlfriend. Thanks.

dcphotog, that's an awesome quiver.
Bladespeek, that quiver turned out very well! I like these hidden fletching quivers, they solve a big problem in the rain for sure!

That's definitely unique dc.  More pics may be required.  Lol
