Hey Guys,
I finally took the time to do my 1st hip quiver! Took a bit of thought to lay out the pattern, but after that it went pretty smooth. The only thing I plan on changing for the next one is the pocket on the front – it’s not got a ton of room in it due to the flap and the depth of the pocket. I did welt the pocket trying to get a bit more room, but it’s just not as accessible as I would have preferred. I’m sure it will function fine for storing a release but I’ve got big hands and the next one will accommodate them! I made a pen/pencil pocket (the cut-out section under the belt loop) and it’s got 1 Dee ring with the cull arrow loop is on the other side. I used rivets to hold the looped sections to the body of the quiver and the rest is hand stitched, which should be plenty strong for a long time coming. The last pic is the natural leather with a nice coat of Mink Oil on it. The quiver isn’t as dark as it appears due to the fresh application of the oil, but it is darker than the raw finish and should only get better with use.
Feel free to offer up suggestions on how I can make future projects better! Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas!
