Apache style quiver
« on: July 24, 2020, 12:51:09 PM »
I saw a picture of an Apache arrow quiver in the Denver Museum,.... and had to attempt making one like it out of brain tanned buckskin for my son.

(Please ignore the plastic arrows in the quiver, his primitive cedar shaft arrows hadn't arrived yet. :laffing)

Thanks Jim,.... there is a skinned piece of willow limb (about 1/2" in diameter) that runs the length of the quiver under the trade wool, so when removing all the arrows the quiver still retains its shape.  :bl th up

An old post, I know, but I think I'm going to make one of these.  I don't have brain-tanned buckskin, but I DO have canvas of the same color.   :laughing
