Title: Pounded white ash basket quiver.
Post by: swamp yeti on August 19, 2010, 09:29:09 am

                                                                                   The quiver I made is  pounded white ash with a fingerweave and arrowhead chevron backstrap.The way I made it ,a logging friend brought me a white ash log and me and my wife beat on the log which lifted the growth rings and I made my weavers and uprights.My wife made a beautiful fingerweave backstrap for it.Also in the quiver are some southeastern rivercane arrows with cherrokee two fletch.

That is a very fine quiver, and the finger-weave bandolier are about perfect.....like the arrows as well.

I thought I would send some more pictures of baskets and different materials they are made of.They are made of honeysuckle vine,split cane,pine needle and virginia creeper root.The biggest basket is a cherrokee split cane.This basket was bought at a yard sale for 1 dollar.It is an original basket dating to 1900.The other baskets my wife made.The basket with the nice dyed design is a double woven cherrokee design.The honeysucle vine basket with the lid on it is double woven too.The second biggest basket is virginia creeper root.The Other basket with the lid on it is pine needle and the others are honey suckle.
