Hi Bull. I want to start off by saying hopefully someone with more experience will chime in here, but my understanding of alaskan yellow cedar is that it's great for arrow's, but too weak for bows. I know for me Given an opportunity I would still get the staves and try one. If it doesn't work then cut up the rest for arrows. Either way you win. Hope this helps and you may have better luck with this in the bows section. Have a good one. Mike
