turkish quiver

That is very nice! How did you do the rims / edges?

What's its carrying capacity?

Eugen; Very very nice. Where did you get the metal work?

Daryush,I glued the leather band first and then I made the marks, then the holes for sewing with a dremel tool and a 1,5 mm drill.
I didn't filled yet, but is big, I expect to put over 50 arrows in to be full loaded (no intention to carry 50 arrows with me).
With the cover of the mouth (not ready) I would like to keep about 12 arrows safetly or four three blades.

Jack, there are two pairs of cheap ear drops with some nice black stones which I dismembered. I have searched for about half year for the right shape. Silver would be much much better... but this is the poor archer quiver, not for a pasha or voevod :))

Gini,
You did a very good job. Do you intend to carry the broadheads and target arrows at the same time?

Bravo!!!! Beautiful work.

Bede, I want to carry only target arrows or only broadheads, not at the same time. I am thinking that at some time it will be allowed to hunt with a bow in my country.

That's a stunning piece of work. Well done on finding the ornamentation, it looks perfect.

What a nice quiver! Do you mean you're going to use a wooden bottom inside like in Koreans quivers?
Congratulations, now you need a Turkish bow :wink:

Jose, the bottom is made from leather thinner than the rest of the quiver (the lateral pocket too).
I want to protect the bottom from sharp broadheads. I dont worry about target point but broadheads can easily penetrate the leather.

As I have seen on WTAF, a korean archer have made a wooden bottom for his quiver in order to keep tightly the point of the arrows. I am not sure if this method is reliable since at his mouth the quiver is large and the arrows balance.

For my future korean arrow quiver I will try to use some soft material folded in three or four layers, covered in velvet, so the arrows will be kept tight for the full lenght of the quiver something like this chinese (thanks to Peter):
