Wow!

Folks have really been turning out some nice juniper bows recently.  This is no exception.  Really good stuff.  This bow looks like it'd be plain fun to shoot.  Awesome.

I second that. Very jealous of some of these juniper and ceder bows. I need to find some new staves!

I would guess you used steam on erc  to bend the tips?

Boiled em for almost an hour

Anything special on bending it?
Does ERC bend easy??
Can the curve be a bit bigger???

Really beautiful bow you have made there!

Thanks guys 

Medecinewheel..nothing special for bending it,as said i boiled for an hour,and bent it over a form with a metal strap over the belly and zero splinters or cracks. It bent like a noodle and very similar to yew when boiled. Id imagine you could easily bend a bigger curve with no problem. This was from a stave from a tree i cut myself. Thanks

  I keep coming back to this post to check it out, I really like the looks of a pyramid with the flipped tips... Very nice work
