Quiver from tanned deer hide

If you remember about a month ago I did a post on a deer hide I tanned. You should also remember that I said I was going to make a quiver from it.

Well here it is; it turned out pretty good. Its approximately 25 inches long and 10 inches round. You can see on the picture it has a reed cane frame and is stitched together with artificial sinew. And hold a dozen arrows nice and quite.

I still have to come up with a sling for it. I just haven't decided which I want to do? Either a beaded leather sling or a straight deer hide sling? We'll see i am in no rush....stay tuned for another project.

PS..I forgot to mention the primitive arrows that I made for it
