You are right. I've been harvesting small bits of ERC in the area for those quivers and what I have in the build here is definitely Western red cedar. I realize that this changes the potential for it to become a successful bow by a fair margin, so fingers crossed here!

It does look like western red cedar that we use for cedar fences.  If that's what it is be careful with the grain.  You can split it from end to end very easily as it follows the grain.  It would be bad to have it split at the nocks.  I would definitely put overlays, and maybe even an underlay on the tips. 

Round the corners a tad, sand it a little, talk harshly to it

Thanks Eddie. I definitely need a bigger container to transplant them into

Give it plenty of time to loose the added weight. The snake skin is like a vapor barrier so the moisture has to go into the wood then dissipate  from there.

...and juniper seems to take longer than hickory for this, probably because it is so resinous.  It actually kept a steady weight for almost a week before it started losing weight.  The only indication I had to excess moisture was the loss of reflex.  If I had started pulling it too soon I probably would have ruined it, or at least lost a lot of power.  Something to remember for the future.

ERC has a distinctive smell. It is used as a closet liner to keep moths out. Once you smell it you will remember it.
 Looking at your board I'd say it is Western Red Cedar.
