Here are some photos of a couple of woven quivers.

The first is made of umbrella sedge (papyrus sp.) harvested in south carolina. 25 inches long by 3.5 inches in diameter. Stiffened with a length of meadowsweet. Comfortably holds a dozen arrows.

The second is made of black ash harvested in vermont. The weavers were split in half which make them pretty smooth.  24" by 4 an 1/4. Holds 18+ arrows.

That's just beautiful in the way something very simple and plain can be. I'd love to sit down with you over a weekend and make a few with you just for the experience!

Checks off everything on my grocery list, and doesn't add a single unnecessary thing!

That's nothing short of a banging good bow, right there!

You did an outstanding job on this bow.  It's even more impressive that it was some of your second-string wood.  Like I said on the LW, Iit's hard not to like everything about a bow that looks like it's ready to hunt.     :OK

Beau brought Margaret Ann and Bodhi with him, they had a great time at the creek and around the fire, Margaret Ann is still a little shy around dogs but she is coming around and they are beginning to really build a love for the farm. :) Then on to the cat and dog, :) :) I was working on the heads and other stuff and Shawn was skinning the cat, the guy that gave it to me field dressed it ??? :-\ so couldn't tub it, guess I will make a rug or something. :)

Today I got my rangefinder working again ,and went back to were we shot flight arrows yesterday.  Our best arrow shot 180 yds. Not very good at stepping off distance. Back to the drawing board.

You and yours also Steve  ;) :) Had a good weekend, got caught up on all the deer processing for now, done a doe for me and Beau's last buck, Shawn showed up and Saturday we did his also. My little freezer where I keep my brain's and a few dead critters was getting full so Friday morning I laid out a bob cat and coyote head and a few other choice items  ??? ;) :) the bob cat came from a friend in the club killed last year and the Coy. head was one DaveO[otis] killed I think. I let them thaw and after I got the deer processed I went to work on them. I wished I had done a video of Annie's reaction to the cat and coy dog head, she would sniff and I could stomp my feet and she would take off like a rocket, I got a good laugh out of her.  :)
