THanks Blackhawk, I'll see what I can do with them. I had planned on sinew for one and maybe rawhide for the other.
I might try a short western na bow with the sinew like you suggest.

You may well just as send that one to me so that desire to have an ERC bow keeps burning for you.

That is a sweet bow blackhawk. That has inspired me to get cooking on that old ERC lumber I have.
