Photos of Ash quiver.

I gave someone here an almost identical quiver to the umbrella sedge one over a decade ago, It may have been seen on PA before.

Arrows / Quiver, by request
« Last post by Robert Pougnier on November 22, 2025, 02:44:25 pm »
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.

Sure thing! I will make a post.

I'm not sure how long the string will last, It's fairly overbuilt and after about 5-600 shots it's not showing any sign of giving. It's well served at the nocking point. I'm keeping a close eye on the loops as I am wondering the same thing. I've only had one hemp string snap and It was strung on a hungarian style composite my friend had. I suspect the strain on the loop ends was much greater.

Bows / Fire Hardening
« Last post by Burnsie on November 22, 2025, 01:36:03 pm »
I just watched a video of Clay Hayes making an awesome fire hardened hickory bow.  Got me wondering - as good as Osage is for a bow wood, would there be any added benefit to give it a fire hardening treatment?

Jim, the only photos of the tips are off the back profile, and the tip up against my finger for size comparison.  This stave had some diluted red coloration in it and then heat bending the tips brought out the streaking grain. Only finish applied was 5 coats of Tru oil.

I came back for another look, and this time noticed the quiver. Can I ask you to make another post just about the quiver?

The image of the belly side of the tip looks like edge grain. Is that just streaks in the finish?
