Sinewed cedar bow

(1/5) > >>

M-P:
This is my first time posting a bow.  The bow pictured is a couple of years old and has shot thousands of arrows and won multiple local shoots.  The only wood I have easy access to is the junipers on my family's ranch.  The result has been a series of cedar/ juniper bows.  I find it easy to work (if straight grained) and capable of making a fast bow though the bow should be wider than a similar style bow from yew or osage.  Does anybody else have experience working with this type of wood.  Ron

Ron, That is a real beauty. I really like the sapwood and heartwood showing on the limbs. I have built a couple of ERC long bows but not a flat bow yet. I have a stave of ERC that Mullet gave me.  What are the dinentions and weight of that bow?    Do you have any pics of the 2 Juniper species and the hybrid trees?   Pat
