Coos Sinew Backed Juniper

35" tip to tip, pulls 41@18". Only let the sinew dry for 2.5 months before tillered. It was mostly tillered when I sinewed, only one layer laid down with knox. The sinew came out a lot cleaner after seeing Bryce's buildalong
I reverse braced it about 5" and it keeps about 1" in the outer limbs when unstrung, the inner limbs take some set when first unstrung giving it a cool gull wing look, but it comes back to just past straight after sitting for awhile. The thing looks like a propeller looking at the back straight on, but it evens out and the string is pretty close to centered. This was a piece of juniper from the Warm Springs reservation that my Siuslaw elder Doug got for me, had bug damage and a pretty high crown so I decrowned it, and I'm really impressed with juniper, this thing is pretty fast(for me) and has a real high early draw. This bow will be donated to our Canoe Journey fund. I think I'm gonna salmon skin it and maybe cherry or cedar bark the handle. Thanks for looking
