Thanks for the kind words, Mickey!  I am truly grateful for the idea.  I bought a pair of leather pants a while back at Liquidation World for $8, thinking I would make a quiver or two out of the legs.  I couldn't quite sell myself on the work involved in making one, or decide on a design.  It was a happy day when I read your article, even though I didn't know at the time where to get the leather.  The stitching looked like too much work too!  Then I literally happened across some thick saddle leather scraps in what I believe to be the finest store in the world.  Convergence.  It's Karma and The Cosmos telling me I'm on track.

The arrow rest is not entirely floppy (not on that bow anyways).  There's a deer antler shelf there, but I extended it with a floppy lip.  But another outstanding innovation!  I feel like I'm talking to a legend here.  Thanks again.

LOL hardly a legend, just a fellow wood bow enthusiast, but thanks again for the kind words.

Good luck with your self projects. Overcoming different "issues" is how we gain a better understanding, and allow us to come up with unique and usable ideas that will often help others trying to overcome those same issues.

Are you mad at me Mike?  Because I happen to think set can sometimes be heated out?

Yep, you guessed it.  Funny and embarrassing.  I couldn't quite believe I was having a kindergarden flashback 35 years later...  But I assumed you were mad at me; sorry to have doubted you.  I deserve the eye roll you probably gave me.  I'm just happy I didn't grow red hair, or I would have forever been "Carrot".
