7.Quivers, Flash Light and Field Glass Cases, also any circular type case or project requires the punching and lacing of edges which come squarely together, forming a butt joint. The holes should be exactly parallel and a cross type of lacing is easier to keep straight.

1.Punch the bottom of the quiver body, using the gauge, with hole spacing about 1/4″. Start at one corner and when near the opposite corner estimate the distance and slightly increase the spacing to bring the final hole in the corner. Sketch A shows this, also the method of positioning the holes in the bottom, Sketch B.

2.Punch one hole in the bottom and tie in place through a corner hole in the body. Fold the edge around the bottom and mark off the holes on the radial lines extending from the outside holes to the center of the bottom. Untie and punch as marked. Identify the first hole so that it may be placed in the same position to lace.

3.Start lacing the bottom opposite the corner holes in the body with the ends of a two yard length brought up from the bottom as indicated, Sketch D. Lace the bottom in place until the thong ends come together at the corners of the body, cross these through the corner holes as in Sketch E and continue lacing the sides of the body together with the cross stitch. Sketches E and F show method of adding a new thong as required.

4.The top of the quiver may be finished with a whip laced edge, a plain creased edge or with a fringed piece folded over the edge. Sketches G to J show detail, also method of ending the thongs with a tassel or Turkshead terminal knot.

Sketch H, Fig. 4, shows the method of joining a corner with butt edges as in an axe sheath.
