Sinewed Juniperus Virginiana
« on: February 09, 2012, 09:01:41 pm »
This is a pyramid sinewed ERC that was sinewed last july if ya'll remember. Well here she is finally all finished up. Its 54"ntn, 1.900" at fades and straight tapers to 3/8" nocks. Rabbit fur under a black leather handle wrap. Tillered to 25". Its in the upper 50's draw weight. I never weighed it. It only lost an inch of its setback and is still setback an inch after unstringing. I am very impressed with this combo...its fantastic,and has excellent cast. thanks for peeking...Chris  :)

That's beautiful work man!  I really like the designs on the back, looks native.  Probably a real snappy shooter eh?  Thumbs up brosef. :D

Absolutely gorgeous... Wish it were mine....  >:D >:D Awesome bow... It would be cool if you could do a chrono comparison between that guy and your mighty mouse... I'd be interested to see the results.

Sweet, I'm working on another ERC myself.  I hope it turns out half as good as that.  Josh

Couple of questions...

De-crowned stave before sinewing?
flipped tips?

Looks great, I bet it is a snappy shooter.

thanks peacebow...she is snappy ;)
thanks hammer...its a very comfy warm grip
thanks ifrit..i might chrono these,but i dont really need to,to know that they are both excellent shooters.
thanks gun doc...cant wait to see your ERC...this was my last stave...i need to go get some more and make another sinew joby out of one...i think sinew is the best backer for ERC
thanks bevan...yes it was decrowned some so i wood have some of that pretty heartwood in it.decrowning isnt as bad as a lot of folks make it out to be. i think it was best in this case and it wasnt that hard to do...and yes the tips were flipped by boiling and putting over a form...it bent very easy like yew does
thanks sadie
thanks seabass
thanks soy...just tying up some lil odds n ends.

That is super nice.  I was just telling Pearly that I wanted to make an ERC sinew backed bow.

Fine lookin' bow. I love those short ones. How long do you think you would've had to make to get a 27" draw?

Howdy,   That's a very nice looking bow!   Sinew and juniper is a great combination. 

I'll step in with a reply to lesken2011 ( feel free to tell me I'm wrong)   I would suggest an additional 2 inches for every additional inch of draw.

Nice Chris!  I've often wondered about sinew on ERC.  Hey, what kinda paint did you use?  I've been wanting to paint one but am stuck on what to get.

woah, I like the handle wrap, it complements the bow very well, I mean the fur and all. Very cool blackhawk!
