Love the bow. M.p,there is sapwood on this bow. Sinew backing juniper is the only way to make it last for many years. Hope you left a little extra on those knots.

Another beauty Ryan. A thin layer of sinew is probably a good idea for ERC.

Guar, ERC is a true junpier...Juniperus virginiana.

Beautiful bow Ryan. I like the length to take some stress off the back and the sinew is good insurance. great job
