Boo backed cedar
« on: November 17, 2009, 12:36:00 PM »
Can I make a boo backed cedar bow or will it have to be as wide as a paddle. I know it doesn't have good tension strength but don't know about compression.

I built one with juniper that worked real well, 1 1/4" wide. First bow I've made that gained reflex as it was tillered.

leee  best i can tell ya  i wouldnt use boo with ceader  man thatd have to be real real thin  1 / 8  hickory on  eastern red ceader is hard enough to make the trick with the ceader is  not to have so much tension  the ceader crushes  thats why most have trouble with the ceader bows usally always cuz  it  crushes the ceader   brock
yep im a bowaholic,, elkaholic !!!

This is Dano's Juniper bow.  The pictures don't  do it justice.

That is one of the nicest looking bows I have ever seen! Is that boo on the back?
