Nothing wrong with that man. The stamping is excellent. Hand stitching is a pita no matter what I've tried.
The main thing is if it's functional. If you can nail that, the rest is practice. I have yet to make anything I'd consider perfect, but like you, I'm trying! Whole lot of merit in that.

Thanks fellas! Getting compliments after seeing the rest of the work around here makes one feel pretty good. However, if there is anything I haven't already picked on myself that needs pointing out, please, don't hold back.
Anthony, I've found with hand stitching it's not so much the stitching but the hole making that is the big issue.
I guess for this I should have made a sled and fixed the quiver to the sled. How I did it was I just tried to hold the edge on a board freehand. With the tapering radius it made it difficult to keep things straight.
