After shooting this in for a month or so I decided to go ahead and finish it up. 64" ntn, 49# @27. My first erc and first try with sinew. Stained the back with a wine colored stain and the sinew gave it a interesting texture. Belly is not stained has a sliver of heartwood left after tillering. A few pics...

Thanks guys - appreciate the comments. It was a fun one to make.

Cory - it shoots nice. Been shooting it for awhile now - about 18 yards in I can group them pretty well with her. (for me anyway :D )

Here is a full draw pic - talked my wife into going outside since it quit snowing.

Thats SWEET!!!!! I like the belly a lot. In the picture that sinew makes the back like cedar bark.. Well done.

Thanks fellas! This must of got bumped up when someone asked about the belly for erc. Still my favorite one to shoot. Although I finished a mulberry that I like a lot too!

very pretty bow. sinew backed erc has been tempting me in day dreams recently.

Very nice looking bow. For your next one try a 57" so you get the full potential of the sinew.

Thanks Pat - I have some drying now. I will take your suggestion and give it a try.
