Tired of sticking my arrows in the dirt, or carrying them, I decided to make my own quiver. This was my first leather project, lots if trial and error & youtube videos. All of the leather was purchased at a craft store in the form of a single large scrap piece, 8-10oz vegetable tanned leather. You can see in the center there, a wound the cow sustained which later healed, leaving a scar. Really reminded me to be careful as I worked, as my material came from a living creature. I tried my best to do it justice!

The trim is actually a stamped leather bracelet that I bought, chopped up, and glued to the ends using leather cement.

The finished quiver holds 12 arrows, though there is room to cram a couple more in if I really wanted to.

Punching the holes for the stitching before applying the dye.

Stitching it up, using black waxed hemp cord. This part took forever. I ended up watching half a season of star trek over the course of stitching this two foot piece!

Cat tax.

so, with what kind of bow do you want to shoot these "tree logs"? ... you're not an Uruk-Hai, are you?

Well done, OP. Hope you tie locked every 3 stitches or so to keep from unraveling if you nick string with arrow

Nicely done and great use of the scar love keeping the imperfections in the leather to show off that it was a living being at one point
