Alternative Juniper backing
I got my hands of some great norwegian juniper, and I see that you have to use backing. It says sinew or rawhide, but I don’t have that. What alternatives can I use?

Help to next steps for rowan Flatbow
This is a 180cm rowan stave. I`m aiming for 50-60 lb at 28 inches. I have rought it out. I have tapered widt 3.5 cm handle, taper out to 4 cm, up to mid limb- then taper to 3 cm till the last 1/4 of each limb - and then aim for taper to 1,5 cm at the tips.
It now has 2 cm thich sides (from the belly to the start of the cambrium. Then it`s the thickness of the crown left - that is not even. I have marked a line down the sides now that mark 1 cm thick if removed down to - before the cambrium. How should I procede? Should i follow that new 1cm line?
