Red cedar long bow

(1/3) > >>

M-P:
Here is an ELB I made from rocky mtn juniper ( aka colorado red cedar) that I recently gave to my friend Ben.  The bow has black steer horn nocks and a horn strike plate.  The bow draws 37 # @ 28", but Ben will be shooting at 26".  Ben's been shooting in the recurve division at our local club meets, but now will shoot in the primitive division.  More competition for me!

Very nice, I am sure he will enjoy it, is that the same bow at full draw, the color looks different but it might be the light. Steve

OldBow:
Great looking bow.  Any idea what genus and species your juniper is? Got your bow bookmarked for July Self Bow of the Month

GregB:
Great looking bow from a difficult wood. :)

PatM:
Rocky Mountain Juniper(Juniper Scopulorum)
 It was originally thought to be a subspecies of Eastern Red Cedar. Very similar tree except its berries require two years to mature rather than one. Hybrids are found where the two species overlap in range, so they are virtually identical in genetic make-up.
