I have got some good quality leather and I would like to make a korean quiver like this:

How is made on inside?

I cannot understand how the arrows were held in this quiver.

In this pic I think is a turkish quiver:

The holding system of the korean quiver is made like this?
Have somebody some pictures?

I have few ideas, I can use polifoam on inside or something else but I would like to made a faithful relpy.

Thanks!

For the bow quiver, there's nothing much inside. They are easier to make because Korean bows don't have big string bridges. You just need some strong material that won't tear when you put the bow in an out.

For the quiver, these quivers actually clamp the arrows inside. Either you can make them very tight with a good strip of thick felt along the mouth on both sides - or you can even put a butterfly screw to clamp the mouth closed, as I have seen in some examples.

That one is very similar to the palace set Bert Grayson has in his collection.

This is the quiver that I found in Grayson collection.

Here the arrows looks to be muffeld into a red material or cloth and we can see they stay like a bundle, not in a row.

That material is felt?
