Working on this ERC bow
kerbinator:
My neighbor asked me to make his wife a bow awhile back he wanted to use our local cedar you all know as ERC. I have never used it but I have seen some nice bows on this site made out of it. I have it floor tillered it is about 67"long 2" wide at the fades 3/4" tips. Any sudjestions are welcome. Kerbinator

Back it with light rawhide.Deer or goat. 8)

Eeyup, I'd back it and soon, before you get it bending too much.I'd go with a medium thick rawhide if you can find some, or a good heavy canvas. Titebond will stick whatever you use down well.

Believe 'em. I just exploded an unbacked ERC on the tiller tree yesterday.

I agree with the rawhide backing, but I'd use hide glue. Much stronger, but seal it good after, and try to keep it from getting wet later. Cheers.
