My Version of Duncan's Quiver

You can probably tell from the various colors that this quiver is made from some scraps I had laying around. I saw Duncan’s post about the quiver he made and the pattern he provided and thought I would give it a try. Thank you Duncan for the pattern.

Getting harder as the years go by to reach back over my shoulder for an arrow in the back quiver, so I thought this style of side quiver would be a good alternative.

I plan to use it in the yard when practicing, but do not intend to use it for hunting purposes. Hope the pics turn out OK on the computer, I am not much of a photographer.

Fine job. Pictures are great. Good work.

Nice job, I think the scraps just might be more interesting than if you had bought one big piece of leather to make it with. Thinking of making one myself, just don’t think I have scraps as good as yours. 😀 And God knows I’m too frugal (not cheap, frugal) to go out and buy anything.

I think the quiver turned out very well! I especially like the lacing and use of different leathers.

I’m curious as to why you won’t hunt with this quiver?

Easy answer to that question. I have a Cat Quiver III that I prefer for hunting purposes. Provides good protection for fletching and has an ample size pack for the things I like to carry with me. So, it is more a matter of preference over the side quiver.

Grumpy, I was being frugal too with using the scraps I had laying around. That was until I decided to do the saddle stitch to hold the pieces together. I did cheat and used contact cement to join them first, then stitched them up. Problem was I had none of the stitching tools and ended up spending forty bucks at Tandy Leather for an awl, awl blade, needles, and thread. Didn’t work out all that cheap in the end. But I am very pleased with it and like the looks of it.

I have a leather punch that I’ve had for ??? (too long) you could have borrowed. 😀

Not supposed to keep track of how much this stuff is costing. Throw out the receipt on the way out of the store.

Good job! I also piece together scraps to make quivers. Great for making two tone quivers and other gear.
