I love the look of Juniper on the limbs but also really like the look of a bow made from one wood, so how is juniper for a riser? Does it hold up well, is it too light?
Also, is there a big difference between juniper, red cedar, and other cedar like material in regards to looks and function?
I would think it's far too light. Eastern red cedar is a juniper, and makes good lams. Western cedar is different and not suitable for either, from what I understand.
I've been told it is too brittle.
