Re: Need help with decision.
I'm not a big fan of bunny fur - the skin itself is thin and fragile, and the ones I've gotten seem to shed a lot. If you want to line the quiver or just the top edge, I second the suggestion of felt or shearling.

Re: Need help with decision.
Okay so I slept on it last night and I've decided to actually leave the fur out. Looks nice but I need something functional. I'll have to think about what I'll do with that bunny skin though.
I may just make another back quiver for costuming or LARPs. I need more practice in leatherworking and an archer can never have too many quivers. Lol
Anyway, this side quiver will be bunny-less and is beautiful without. Especially since it is my first one. I have ordered sheep shearling and may just line the quiver if I need it quiet. What's the point of making a 'stealth' quiver if it isn't 'stealth-y' right? Lol While I do want to hunt with this particular quiver it might not work out as this is my first build and i'll have to see what works out. I may just go back to a back quiver.
@Prognathodon: Nice stuff!!! I love seeing other leatherworks! It makes me want to work hard at the craft and get more advanced in my work. I moved away from leather masks for this reason.
@enginee837 I was just thinking about going to join Archery talk. Lol
Thank you everyone for your input! I really appreciate it! It helped make my decision easier and to look at the piece in a different light. I will be taking a few more pictures of the quiver in better light with a better background than my orangish apartment wall. Lol

The fur would be nice as a pouch. I'll have to see. I am currently drawing up plans for a leather belt pouch so we'll see how this goes. Maybe I should use it for a checkbook cover? Naw. Lol
Who knows, I might be going into the heart of Africa next summer. I overheard a mission trip that my church might go on next year with another church in our area.

Re: Need help with decision.
Eh since I am currently thinking of leather costuming I might get some more for a small mantle. 😈 Possibly something Skyrim-y. The quiver build had upped my confidence to possibly progress to leather armor smithing. (Level up! Press the O button to access your skill tree.) Lol
Ultimate goal: possibly craft leather daedric armor. Will need to upgrade my resin skills...
Yeah might get a bit more fur for a costume.
