I've been experimenting with flint over winter and into spring and made a handful of pressure flaked arrow heads which I have recently fitted to some hazel shafts. Thing is, I don't have anywhere to put them so am now looking at making a quiver to keep them in.
But I'm not really into my archery so haven't really seen many designs to look at and come up with something.
I've done a bit of browsing on the web and seen some rawhide quivers which appear to be folded and stitched along the bottom and side...

But I think this could mean that the flint tips could get caught in the bottom where there is only a small gap.
So I was thinking about using rawhide or bark to make a much tube, a bit like can be seen here in patrick's article for a tinder container: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/index.php/DIY/Tinder-Container-Tutorial/Page-2.html (But longer obviously )
Does anyone have any experiance in making quivers from hide or bark, or something similar, and have any examples I could take a peek at for some inspiration?
TIA.
Andy.
