Drying leg sinew?

(1/2) > >>

Buffalogobbler:
For the first time I removed the leg sinew from my deer,
 and I got to wondering about drying it out.
Has anyone ever tried using a food dehydrater to dry sinew?
It seems like a good idea to me,
 but I wonder if the dehydrated might dry the sinew out too much, is it possible to dyy sinew too much?

I just lay mine out on my Wood Workbench to dr....but I can not see where a Dehydrator would hurt anything....just dont turn it up all the Way....should be fine

Pappy:
I just lay it out flat,in the sun if possible,It only takes a day or 2. I guess the dehydrator would work,just seem like overkill to me. :)

Thats just the way I do it...but in the Garage...takes the weekend and it's nice and Honey Colored are dry as a Bone

Buffalogobbler:
Thanks for the opinions guy's,
I thought it would take longer than a few days to dry.
I'll lay it out on a board in my work shop.
