Yes I know lots of people in Winters, that was in the county I trapped Runnels county, and all the so called cedar around there is juniper , so cut and have fun , Ive made lots of good bows from that wood . Of course I sinew backed it, You take a strait limb from one of those trees and see if you can break it. I bet you cant.       Trapper

Cedar as a bow wood

I think I once saw a cedar bow , possibly in one of the three BB, it was three inches wide, and unbacked most of its length. It had many pin holes and knots in it, but i dont know where you can find cedar that doesnt  :)  Good luck   Ty
