How To & Build A Longs
Quiver Build Along By - Jamie Burleigh This will be more of a pictorial of how I make one style of "simple" plains type quiver... It involves no sewing, needles, or no special stitching etc. I first start off with some brain tanned elk hide and lay it out in about the shape of the quiver I’d like to make...

CLICK ON PICTURE TO VIEW LARGER IMAGE Next I fold over the quiver and punch some holes. You can use a nail or a special punch, it doesn’t much matter here, and then I cut strips of the scrap brain tan to create some laces to "lace it up". By lacing it up I mean tie a knot at one end, pull the tag end through and tie off again...it’s that simple!
CLICK ON PICTURE TO VIEW LARGER IMAGE This is what the bottom edge should look like now with a series of knots and laces, but I ran into a snag! The laces were too wide to fit through the beads I wanted to decorate it with so I went out and bought some matching braintan lacing....this was the ticket! ...so I pulled out what I started with and replaced them with the new store bought laces of the thinner variety.

CLICK ON PICTURE TO VIEW LARGER IMAGE This is the original picture of the process and I could have left it but I wanted to dress it up a bit as I am giving this one away to a friend... Now I need to make the stiffener and the strap. all I used for the stiffener was a piece of river cane cut just shy of the overall covered length of the quiver and what is holding it in is the pressure from the quiver and the strap securing it. I then proceed to cut my straps and do a simple cross pattern stitch with the lace so it can easily be adjusted and made larger or smaller depending on the user. So here it is in the finished state with the stiffener installed and the beadwork complete. Enjoy!
