Yea Bryce does'nt that look like a nice little project?
Little Ben...Thanks for the encouragement.I appreciate it.I understand what your talking about.I've tillered a few like these before into working bows.They are a bit more work for sure.Red cedar has defeated me once before and this is the next candidate.....lol.I'll get it done.I just wanted some opinions and appreciate that too.I've got plenty of width and length for this to work.Maybe even leave a little heartwood on the belly in places.
I've got a few more projects that need my attention too.

You could also use birch for backing. I've found that it works pretty nicely with juniper (juniperus communis).
