Quiver: The Art of Life through Bowcraft pairs immersive storytelling with striking visuals from a father–daughter journey documenting the lives and craft of the world’s most renowned traditional bow carvers.
Known as bowyers, the subjects featured in Quiver are carrying forward the legacy of primitive archery — a skill that has shaped human history for millennia and is now experiencing a quiet resurgence. Over the course of a year, author Todd N. Howard and photographer Ela Harper traveled to ten countries across four continents where they visited 14 bowyers in their workshops. There, they carved a bow alongside each of them over several days while documenting their process, personal history, and way of life of each bowmaker. Quiver is the culmination of this journey.
Pairing stunning photography with original and personal narratives, including a foreword by Paul Comstock, co-author of The Traditional Bowyer's Bible , Quiver: The Art of Life through Bowcraft tells stories of cultural history, artisan craft, and human ingenuity, woven together with the universal thread of survival and connection.
