okie you got that right.  That hickory is tough stuff and the cedar is so easy to split.  Almost to easy, I have to watch it.

Newbe question. On the cedar, is the sap or heart wood used- or both? Also for self bows or laminates& backing/bellys. I always viewed cedar as a soft/ week wood. Thanks!

Nice haul Old Guy. Both good bow woods.

Dennis, any or all can be used in bows. I have seen all sapwood ERC bows that were great shooters.

In the DVD "Full Circle" the guy made an all sapwood ERC bow, sinew backed, that shoots great.
