    Sheepskin or felt on the inside for easy cleaning would work.

    Even just getting tanned fur wet takes a lot of maintenance to make it look fluffy again.

    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.

    If you want it quiet enough to hunt with you will want foam insertso to prevent any movement at all and keep your broadheads from cutting through the quiver itself. If you are just using it for fun shooting, noise should not matter, use it the way you like it.
    Check out Archery talk. In the traditional section you will find lots of ideas and get great feedback on stuff like this.

    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

    You could always make a small pouch with the fur to keep stuff in, like thread wax, replacement pieces, coins, anti-venpm/poision cure, a blow dart, etc. (I mean these in the LARP sense. Unless you happen to be going into the deep heart of Africa anytime soon ;) )

    It could also be functional, too, like coins, makeup, hair ties, thread wax, replacement tips/nocks if youre gonna be firing, etc. It would look pretty cute, even if you only had enough fur for the closing flap.

    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.

    Ha-ha, wait ACTUALLY going to Africa?! I must be psychic ;) I bet it'll be a way different area than i'm imagining, though, hehe.

    That would be the fanciest cheque. Look, ever. Id be jealous.

    How about glove/boot cuffs? Or maybe if you get more a really bad-ass patchwork cape/cloak (blanket? :P)

    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.
