![]() I also found it easiest to sew on the fringe as one piece of material then cut the strips after it was sewn on. For sewing together the main body, it helps to double or quadruple up the sinew into a thicker thread. The basic process for making the quiver is this: get all of the materials (hide, sinew thread, beads and decorations, etc.), layout the hide, mark out the pattern, cut out all of the pieces, punch the holes, sew it all together with sinew thread, then attach the decorations. For the medicine wheel, I found a steel hoop, covered it with strips of leather, and then tied on the beads and feathers with sinew thread. The bead work I found came as already assembled pieces and all I had to do was sew it on to the elk hide. I put the rough surface on the inside and the smooth surface on the outside. ![]() Elk hide just seems perfect for this style of quiver. Cow hide is too thick and stiff unless it has been split to make it thinner. Deer hide will work, but it is thinner and pretty floppy. It is thick enough to maintain its shape and not flop around, but flexible and supple enough to feel soft and collapse gently around the arrows, keeping them in place and keeping them quiet. The elk hide is just the right thickness. I think the color of this hide is too bright and stands out in the woods like a neon sign, so if you are making one for hunting, you’ll probably want to get some hide with a darker stain. I got all of this stuff from various auctions and shops on Ebay. This quiver was made with tanned elk hide, sinew thread, and as you can see, an assortment of decorations made from beads and a tanned red fox face. I just find this quiver style to be a really comfortable and quiet set up for hunting. With the nocks showing, they are easy to get a hold of with your fingers, but with the fletchings covered up, they don’t make loud scratching or scraping noises against stuff like tree branches or even the ground if you are crawling around. This one was made long enough to cover the fletchings of a standard 28″ arrow with field points or broadheads with just the nocks sticking out of the top.
