Great work on the carvings! Do you hand stitch those seams with two opposing needles or do you use a sewing awl?Not sure if the intent of this thread is for finished projects or "works in progress". If you want me to move these to a different thread, I'm happy to...
I finally got started on the quiver I mentioned in Dec 22. This will be a belt quiver that cants forward a bit for a right handed archer. I was hoping for just two pieces of leather but that will take a little bit more trial and error. This one will have a third piece of leather sewn in as a bottom. Having a squared off bottom would eliminate the need for it (or changing the shape of the top piece) but I like the angled bottom edge.
First a "close up" of the tooling. These will eventually be painted with acrylics and my wife says leave the leather natural around it... I may add some more background tooling, I haven't decided. In case it isn't clear, from top to bottom: Elk, Black Bear, White Tail, Turkey, and Fox. The second picture shows the general shape of the whole thing. I will likely use a plastic "clip" 6-arrow holder between the belt loop and the quiver portion just to keep the arrows from rattling around too much. If I can figure out a way to do that with leather, though, I might try it.

Hand stitch with 2 needles is what I've done so far. I tried a stitching awl but I find it harder to use, personally.Great work on the carvings! Do you hand stitch those seams with two opposing needles or do you use a sewing awl?
Well your work looks great. I’ll be interested to see how it looks when you’ve finished. Where’d you get those clamps ; what are they called?Hand stitch with 2 needles is what I've done so far. I tried a stitching awl but I find it harder to use, personally.

Did you freehand those? Multi-talented leather worker!A couple more pics - decided to sew it all together before painting and finishing. Some minor mistakes but overall I'm pretty happy with this. Still need to make a belt for it, too.
