ERC for indian bows?

[simson]

Thanks for all the info, gentlemen!
Obviously there are not that much ERC bows from indian natives.

where did you get the pics from? is there a chance to get more info, measurements etc.? This stick looks like unbacked.
Thanks again.

simson, the bow came from the canadian museum of civilization. The bow is unbacked and is 133 cm long, 4 cm wide and 1.2 cm thick at the handle.

erc was probably used by eastern natives for self bows when nothing else was available. That's why you don't see very eastern woodland self bows of erc. I once read that eastern natives would use erc for green wood bows. I have also seen a few plains self bows that had a bright red stripe on the belly like erc or rocky mountain juniper which is related to erc.
