Thanks to your family for not getting up!  Seriously, thx for posting. I'm making my own plains quiver and these pics will help!
Cheers,
Dan

Ha! Thanks all. You all will have to post pictures if you make one of these.
Hey Slim, the storm wasn't nearly as bad as it was supposed to be. I did get some beads put onto the neck pieces for a shirt. I'll sew them on this week, and paint the shirt. I have a guy making some quill wrapped hair locks for me. I'll send you a photo when I get it done.  CC

You need to post some "work in progress" pics of that war shirt.  Very cool!

Thanks for the great pics. It still amazes me when folks talk about how much work it used to be to live on the land. Do these bead work quivers look like the product of an overworked fool??? These are beautiful testaments to earth based living and the art of existing. Thanks tipi stuff. By the way, why tipi in the name? can't deny it caught my eye right away.

Wylden, My interest in archery is an offshoot of my interest in Plains Indian material culture. I'm particularly interested in Cheyenne material from the 1860 - 1870 time period. I replicate a lot of stuff and then take it out and play with it to see how it works.  CC

Nice pad "saddle"... that is on my to-do list.

Pappy, all of the quivers are old originals. They are certainly very nice. I've only had the chance to handle a couple of old ones, but I've got quite a few pictures of them.

I love this stuff, thanks for posting pics. The original quivers are outstanding but so is your collection of replicas, I wouldn't mind seeing more pics of those items too.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

I was looking at those woven cat-tail style back rests. Straight from the Laubin recipe book! Looks good tipistuff! You can come on out and live in tipi village anytime!
