A new quiver

[Labrador]

For some time now I've been burdened with a forward facing quiver for my arrows resulting in clattering arrows getting caught up in my bow string! I'd always hankered after a field quiver but anything half decent costs a fortune or is made of nylon (yuk).
So I decided to make one.......
Of I went to Matlock & bought some leather, Mrs Labrador cut out the shape (from a pattern I'd prepared earlier) & I then glued, sanded, stitched, dyed & waxed to produce the finished product

First attempt?
Pretty darned good IMHO!

Looks very well done. Nice setup on the bow too.

Lovely work.
I know what you mean about the price of these things. When i have time i need to make one just like that.

Nice looking piece. Where in matlock did you get the leather from?

Now that is a lovely piece!

Thanyou for all of your kind comments :You_Rock_

The leather, thread, dye & grooving tool came from the Identity Store which is close to the bridge in the middle of Matlock.

The know-how came from some of the superb sheath making tutorials on this excellent forum.

The pattern was adapted from a standard field quiver design (mine's just a bit longer in the pocket).

Hope this helps anyone who is thinking of making a field quiver!
