thanks Kenny and Fred.fred i got the leather at tandy.it is kind of expensive,but i am a gold member and get a little discount.the piece i used for this quiver was off a cow side and still had the brand from the ranch on it.i was going in with just an idea of how i wanted it to look.i didn't have a pattern.you can get archery related patterns from tandy.that cow side was 9 ounce veggie tanned leather.it was 167.00 dollars,but i got the whole side for 67 dollars on sale.still have a ton of it left.i only buy when i can get a deal.i'm poor.
