ERC Board Bow

[Aaron H]

Excellent bend Marc, and beautiful wood.  I have a sinew backed ERC that I need to post.

What glue did you use for the backing? Great looking bow!  I have some nicer ERC boards and some pipe straight maple staves..  I want to try this!

[Marc St Louis]

I used TB3 to glue the backing down

I bet that's a joy in the hand.  Always a pleasure to look at your tillers, Marc.

Awesome combo Marc, I love ERC, it's very similar to our Rocky Mountain Juniper

Nice. Looks like a shooter to me.

[Marc St Louis]

Thank you guys

Not sure what you men by that Dave.  I have made several ERC bows both self and backed and never had any problems.  The wood is elastic and can tolerate a D section profile

  I didnt mean anything negative Marc,  I have never used this wood to make a bow, so looks like  I have the wrong impression of it  I just always think of cedars as a soft wood , not something I would choose to make a bow from....obviously I'll have change my opinion of it  ..not sure if I grows where I live, I'll have to look into it and try it one day...

You do realize of course that ERC is not a true Cedar but a Juniper
