==Bows and Arrows==
Incense cedar was one of the favored varieties of wood used by Native Americans in California. Like Juniper, and Pacific Yew, the other two coveted bow woods among Pacific Natives, this wood has excellent flexibility and compression strength-weight ratio. When backed with sinew, it produces extremely flexible, fast, hard-hitting bows, which are rivalled only by horn-sinew composite bows for their ability to store and release elastic energy. The archer Saxton Pope observed that [[Ishi]] used this wood to produce short bows. <ref>https://www.archerylibrary.com/books/pope/hunting-with-bow-and-arrow/chapter02_2.html</ref>
