Quiver for my son's arrows

[Nighthawk]

My son has gotten into archery lately. As those of you who looked at my thread about the Renaissance festival outfit know, I've been making him the gear for his archer's costume. I finally finished the quiver! Only took me a week!!

This is an in-progress kind of shot:



And this is the (almost!) finished product. I need to get some hornpipe so we can attach 2 feathers to the leather thread hanging off of the back end. I was going to put a second attachment onto a D ring, but when the whole thing was assembled, we found that it hung perfectly and doesn't need anything else! I love it when a plan comes together...

More arrows!!! The English are coming!!!!!!!!

Oh dear. Next it will be a spear and atlatl.

Well... He was given a few lessons on how to use the atlatl over the summer when we went to the San Luis Valley! And I can't afford one of those!

Good looking setup-simple, straightforward design. Is there a spacer in the bottom? Any spot for keeping a spare bowstring dry?

Hey, now-I broke a selfbow once, made a chucker out of it. Got good at hurling shovels with it...If you got this news:

May be a starting point for the verrrrrry traditionlist. Didn't I hear mention of a flint dirk? If you look closely at the picture...Be really cheap getting an outfit.

Yes, there is a spacer- it's about a half inch. There is no pouch for a string. I wanted to include one, but my son didn't want it. However, after it was all sewn together, he decided he wanted a different pouch sewn to the inside that can hold cross bow darts! Darned kids...

Yep, Papa Hawk will be making an atlatl before long... And flint spearheads.
* You'll need to start growing giant pumpkins and watermelons to use as wild beasts... mammoths and such.

Excellent leatherwork - enough without being overdone.

Well, I do have a large roll of sinew, leather for the sling, a flint arrowhead, and a Home Depot up the street... Dagnabit, Ted, stop giving me ideas!! Give me a few days and I'll have it done.

Thanks! I was a little worried that the 2 dragons may have been a bit much, but you always give the customers what they want!
