I started a quiver over a year ago but life has got in the way this year, hopefully by the time we get snowed in again I'll be able to get to it again.
Suspect I'm mostly interested in what you'll use for the bottom for your broad-heads to rest on, if you're going to use it as a hunting quiver. I still ain't got that part figured out completely.
When a fella gets too much going at one time, all he does is get behind on everything and that's exactly where I am right now.

What they are is a rawhide cup with a long stick attached to the side so it looks kinda like a dipper. How they work is the cup sits in the bottom and holds the arrow points. The stick needs to be long enough to be reached from the quiver opening so the cup can be raised and the desired arrow easily selected from the bunch. The protruding end was often decorated in some distinctive way to easily identify it from the arrow shafts. My book also says that the cups were sometimes filled with moss or other soft material to protect the delicate stone points and held additional arrowheads as well.

Hey Russ... How about putting an "arrow cup" in the bottom of your quiver? According to a book I have on Native American archery this was a feature actually found on some original Indian quivers.

Hey RiverCat, I must have missed this.........
I have seen what you describe somewhere before, and it was pretty neat IMO.
I still have not completed mine.....but I have most of the leather cut and ready to get started,
Lynn (Weaving Welshman) and I were discussing this just last week and I made myself a promise that I am going to get this done before the first of the year, even if it kills me! (Well, maybe not that bad, but I am determined.)
That young Welshman is on-top of things, he has knocked out about a half-dozen while I sat and twiddled my thumbs...he's going to end up with the "potlicker" handle if he ain't right careful! LOL
Anyway, thanks for the tip, I had totally forgotten about that until you mentioned it.
