I understand your identification conventions regarding quiver construction like L shaped and wooden bottom quivers. It seems to cover the vast majority of Asiatic quivers and it's a fine observation! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of this new content in addition to your great DIY videos as well.
I filmed today DIY video on wax carving. Have to record voice for it. About quivers, if we ignore few decorations, it's really hard to tell who made them.
1:20 your naming practice makes lots of sense because similar (or exactly the same) designs often appear independently in many parts of the world which haven't interacted with each other. It's especially true for earlier designs like the simple case/tube style quiver which is ubiquitous - from Siberian kurgans, through Eurasian steppes, to sinosphere, Persia, Western Europe and even Mexico! And yes, this type of quiver is called Scythian or Sarmatian all the time :v It's also not how the naming in archeology is done, which, imo, is the most relevant to the kind of work you do. After all the further back we go, the less quality sources we have, and extrapolating one or two findings to the whole culture (or even more, like we often do with Scythians or Achamaenid Persians at the height of their power) is pretty silly.
Good video, thank you for your excellent work. I made my first quiver with lots of help from your videos, simple, heavy leather, birch bottom and felt spacer. Doesn’t look as nice as one of yours but it’s clean and very functional. Looking forward to more videos!
im making an otzi/hungarian inspired quiver right now from the first deer hide i tanned. i have it fur in for hunting so my arrows dont rattle…i really love the asiatic “ tubular” style quivers with the ability to close it completely. i hope to make a mongol birch tubular quiver once i have more crafting skills. hope to see some instructional videos from you soon!
It is my plan to do it. In fact , I started on it. But due to lack of interest I abandoned project . However, if there is interest for it , I can get back to it.
Birch, as in birch bark? If that's the case it sounds like a really difficult and labour intensive task compared to leather or leather and wood constructions, I'll have to look into it! PS in my experience all types of quivers rattle to a degree, the exception being those with very narrow slots for arrows, preferably spread apart as far as possible. I'm guessing they'll wear out with intense use and can't really be utilised in conjunction with broadheads, though, you'd have to get these weird foldable contraptions which cost more than a whole high end target arrow :v
@@Sk0lzky try a deer hide quiver with fur in. you dont make a sound when drawing an arrow. yes many medieval mongol quivers have been found with birch bark being the main body being reinforced with a wood structure
Zack - just an idea, but it would be interesting to hear your life story; how did you first get into archery, how did you start specializing in quivers, and then in other items like thumbrings and arrows. Just think it could be cool to learn more about how you got into the space and became an expert.
Love your editing skills but moreover your skills in quiver and arrowmaking, historical backgrounds, contexts...Great! Ed: love also your unbiased views on subject, one of pillars of true history as a science!

Great introductory video Zack! Really appreciate the editing work too
Thank you.
Let's try better than this 🙂

I got attacked by someone claiming that I'm denying his country's identity.
Just can't win 😀
@@nomadicartsarchery where I'm from we have a saying that in all of history there hasn't been a person able to satisfy everyone :v

@@Soviless99 fur on the inside sounds like a great hack, never thought about it, thanks
@@Sk0lzky just keep in mind about the arrow tips pullin fur out
Awesome. Really looking forward to it
Thank you buddy!
I'm looking forward to make some serious videos .
Thank you for sharing your talent. And using the CC.
Thank you buddy!
I'm really excited about this.

Do you happen to know anything about Hun quiver design?
Yes I do.
I'm hoping to do video about it soon.
It all depends on support.
@@nomadicartsarchery I am very curious. I am looking to get a correct period Hun style quiver to use at historic reenactments.
@lusolad Please check my new video , there are few pictures and short explanation of it.
Thanks for a great video. Could you please add dates and sources to your images.
Some of them are made by me .
Other are explained.
There's no need for sources, nobody is watching my videos anyway.
