THE QUIVER!

#1 Post by littlejohn59 » Sun Sep 27, 2015 8:16 pm

In vain, I have been in search for a new quiver for a couple of years. In particular i wanted a flying dragon breathing fire..... I just never found what i really wanted then......
By chance i bumped in to a very talented pedantic guy by the name of Anthony from Lilydale Archery in Melbourne.
Anyway we chatted and he asked what i wanted. So i told him and he said it was doable. I had 2 belt pouches made up early in the year and i was extremely satisfied. So i went ahead with the quiver.

Well the big day arrived today. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:


If any archers, are in search for something a little different or want a 1 off quality product, this is his contact.

That's some very impressive leather work, the top pic is spectacular.

Mate that gear is fabulous; how many hours went into making it; from my experiences leather work there would have been heaps on manhours!
Cheers

Hi Little John,
Yeah as i said as i like to do some leather work myself and have made various things i could tell there was a lot of hours and a lot of skill and patience went ito it.
=THAT IS THE KIND OF STUFF THAT BECOMES FAMILY HEIRLOOMS AD PASSED ON DOWN THE FAMILY GENERATIONS!
Great work.
Cheers
IAN

hey Ian
Give it a go mate, you never know unless you give it a go. I am anything but artistic, so i had someone that is, make it for me.
I could pass it down as an heirloom.... However, none of my family are interested in archery. When the time comes perhaps i might have my quiver and bows entombed with me......lol

Ian
