HowTo's and Build-a-longs / Re: Lumber Red Cedar and Sinew build along
« Last post by jameswoodmot on February 27, 2026, 05:04:33 pm »How’s this coming along? I’ve got some western red cedar left over from a canoe I’m building and it’s about a light and fragile as any other pine or conifer I’ve come across. i googled it when I got it to see if it would bow but the internet said no and that it was of no relation to erc which is a juniper. I’ve got a couple of boards still so it would be amazing if it works!

Haha. Ya I was on the fence too on the handle. I went with cork for now as I do some shooting with it. I may yet switch it up to a stacked leather build up instead. It would still allow it to bend with the bendy bow.

It most definitely is GlisGlis
I was just looking at some cedar today.
I might have to out source my roots. I spent a lot of time and work to come up very short of the amount I need.
The rest of materials I think I can get.
My cousin isn’t going to let me forget about the birch bark canoe. He plans on helping me when he retires if I don’t have it done yet.

« Last post by superdav95 on February 27, 2026, 01:53:49 pm »I really like that design. Looking back I really regret not going with more bend in the handle bows. It really does reduce the set .
Thanks badger! Much appreciated. I haven’t done many of these myself either but I may have to do more after this little guy. I expect that this bow will settle in around 5-6” reflex. That would be an increase of about an inch or so from before sinew.
