Title: hair on elk hide quiver
Post by: Josh B on October 26, 2013, 07:34:25 pm

I just got this quiver functional for a deer hunting adventure for a friend.  Its fur on elk hide with pieces of silver Fox tail and Turkey feathers wrapped with strips of ermine fur all laced to abalone discs.  As you can tell, leatherwork is not my strong suit.  I do however, plan on dressing  this up a bit after season.  I just don't have time to do it right now, so he'll have to settle for the plain Jane version with only the medicine bits for decoration until I can get back to it.  Thanks for looking!  Josh

Thanks fellas!  Now all I gotta do is get a load through MN before Thursday so I can drop it off. Josh

If you get one through Oregon first drop it off here my friend!  I'd be glad to take it off your hands.  Great work like always Josh!

Cheers,
DK

Josh, that is beautifull, and functional and doesn't look like it is heavy. You did good, Bud, I like it alot.

Thanks fellas!  My dispatcher came through for me and got me a load within striking distance.  I'm pretty happy about that.  With any luck, Soy will have his quiver by the time the sun sets tomorrow.  Josh
