here's a quiver i just finished. i've been wanting to make a quiver like this for years and the article by steve sell finally made me get to work on it. i went a step further and used sapphires for the eyes, almost 40 carats worth. enjoy!<br><br><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/Mechslasher/coon2.jpg" align=baseline border=0><BR><br>
<P>fantastic mechslasher,being a retired coon hunter that sure hits the spot,beautiful job !!!</P>
<P>i wish i had a dollar for every mile i walked hunting and trapping these wiley critters.</P>
<P>Been intending to do a quiver like that. By the way, those are nice arrows too.</P>
Hi,<br>Cool quiver. What makes up the body of the quiver? Did you wrap the coon skin around a leather tubing body? Could you post some pics of the quiver's back? Thanks!<br>
thanks fellows. i simply laced up a regular back quiver using 9oz. leather for the tube and glued the coon skin on top of it. i did make a face form out of leather so it wouldn't have a flat look. here's a side view pic.<br><br><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/Mechslasher/coon3.jpg" align=baseline border=0><br>
<P>Great work. I bet my son really likes it when I show him the pictures. I think it would be a bit creepy, like something is crawling on my back. Nice job. Did anyone ask you for a ring or neclace with matching sapphires?</P>
<P>Looks GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!</P>
<P>Looks awesome! I read the same article and I'm in the process of building the same quiver using badger hide. I was going to use an old leather back quiver for the tube but didn't like the looks of that quiver. I've been looking for a piece of heavy leather to make the tube but I am not knowledgeable about types of leather and which would be rigid enough for this project. Iv'e narrowed it to 8-11 oz moose leather or tooling leather. Any suggestions?</P>
<P>i used 9oz leather on this quiver. i got it off ebay for about $15 for four sq/ft. more than enough for two quivers. look for scrap leather if you go to ebay.</P>
