    Thanks!

    and mighty nice work right there!!!
    I'll do my best...

    For the leather, I have been using this guy's store. I get the best quality leather for the cheapest price I can find anywhere.



    You will need a piece of leather 12" by 36" in 11 to 15 oz. thickness so that it will be thick enough to retain it's shape instead of collapsing in the middle.

    I took a piece of poster paper and made one until I got it right, then used the thing as a template to cut the pattern from the leather.

    The holes that have the lacing that hold everything together are spaced at 1/2" spacing, from the top to the bottom. From the same store I mentioned above, you can buy a 48" strap that's 1' wide for the shoulder strap, and they also sell the leather lacing. The only other thing I can recommend is a sharp utility knife, a good hole punch, and if you need anything else just give me a shout. Would sure like to see some pictures.

                              Personally Tom, I think it sucks, really ugly, bad craftsmanship and I think you shoud send it to me so you won't have to suffer any further embarrassment. On the real note. Really great work. You did a great job on that thing. I like that type of quiver especially for still hunting. No more reaching over your back for an arrow.

                                Got feedback on the parts, looks like its right around $130.00 in supplies with shipping. They said thanks for the referral Tom. I will order the parts in the next week or so and take some pictures as I work on it.

                                Thanks again Tom.
