softer sinew

(1/2) > >>

RidgeRunner:
Is it possible to make dry sinew softer?
Can it be "tanned or something" so that it is not so stiff and hard when dry?

I am making a War Club for my supervisor at work.  The plan is to put a wrist strap on the end of the handle.
Sinew is all I have to make the strap from.  Would like it if the strap was a good bit softer than one made normal sinew.

Thanks
David

Oil (like neatsfoot) will make it feel softer.  If you soak it in oil (then squeeze out the excess) it will not harden as much.

If I were you I would buy a small chamois at wally world, cut it into lace, braid it into cordage, and make the strap out of that.  There's nothing softer and it's all natural.

I would also like to make a warclub for my boss.  I am not sure he would notice how hard the handle wrap is when I "give" it to him ;)
