Medieval Crossbow Quiver (Pic Heavy)

[pugs75]

Hello All,
Just finished up a crossbow quiver for a freind. I never made one before but with some pictures and encouragement from my friend I went for it. It came out pretty good for the first not perfect but ok. He wanted a medieval style so this is what we came up with. It is 17 1/2 inches long which will cover his bolts nicely and is about 5 inches wide/oblong. I used some of my longbow arrows to give some color contrast as his bolts are going to have orange fleching. The leather is 6/7oz double shoulder, I used Fiebings Dye black, Waterproofed with Montana Pitch Blend dressing inside and out, Stitched with latigo lace and artificial sinew.
Here are a few Pics:

Thanks for looking.

Looks very nice....question, and I know nothing about quivers, but couldn't the entire 17-1/2" be a one-piece tube?

Thats a great question. Im sure it could be. I never made one of these and while looking online I found several styles, my friend liked this style and we went from there.
