Re: Refurbishing a quiver
Is there any other materials on it that will melt under some heat or is it just all leather?
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.

Its all black leather.
Re: Refurbishing a quiver
If you can work the leather with your hands, you can get it quite soft in just a little while.
Wherever you can, fold it back on itself and roll it between your hands.
Keep us posted on how you do it and how it turns out.

I used to use neatsfoot oil on my baseball mitts, Dan. Softened even the stiffest ones up really quick.
