Utah Juniper (Feeling out)

<< < (3/5) > >>

JoJoDapyro:
I am going to head out today to have a look at what I can find. There are 10 interested. Photos to follow. I have sent a PM to everyone who said they were interested. If I missed you, please PM me.

JoJoDapyro:
Got in touch with the local BLM office. The area that I will be cutting Juniper is closed until March or April due to it being winter range for deer. I'll keep this updated.

duke3192:
I would like to have some because I've never worked any.

Prarie Bowyer:
Something for a bendy recurve say 64" that will leav me options.  Could go less and could splice.  Never worked with it. 

Have obsidian and some cowboy rock?  Getting away from knapping.  Not my thing.

JoJoDapyro:
The sinew prep has been the toughest part. I have literally spent maybe 45 minutes on the bow, not counting sinew. I found a few things I am not super excited about with juniper. My scrapers dont work, because the wood is so soft. So instead you have to sand it. Not a huge issue, but it does take a little more time. With the weather cooperating, the winter range should be open sooner than later to go get wood.
