I finished this side quiver for myself just 2 days before Missouri’s season opened on 9/15. I’ve been wanting to make one for a while now but couldn’t find the time to get started.
I like side quivers but I wanted to make this one versatile when it came to toting it around. So I studied on the problem awhile and came up with a ring-and-hook attachment system. This way I can carry it on my belt, or with a strap or in my hand.
As you can see, I like color and I’ve got just about the entire animal kingdom represented here. The quiver body is made from bison leather and the turquoise trim is deer. The light orange trim at the mouth is stingray, the dark orange piece at the bottom is caiman, the circle thingy is ring lizard and the “swoosh” is ostrich leg skin. I carved the hanging ring from a piece of moose antler and sewed everything up by hand using artificial sinew. It took some time and money (exotic leather is expensive!) but I wanted something that I’d be proud to have and that would last a while. I’m pretty satisfied with the end product.
Now I just need to kill a deer while using it…
