Pat B:
On the 3 sinew backed bows I've made the sinew was already shredded when I got it. ;D Some was emu and on Elkie, elk!    Justin, I have some leg sinews if you need some. They aren't shredded. ::)

Justin Snyder:
Pat, if you just want to practice shredding, I will let you prep it first. No need to thank me, that is just the nice kind of guy that I am. Justin

Pat B:
I can't even get myself to shred it. ;D If I were you, I wouldn't wait! ::)     Pat

jkekoni:
I have heard that moose sinew is better that deer/whitetail sinew and longer. This is quite commonly hunted animal in Finland.
(but not bow legal  :-[)

I have also heard that Ostrich produces good sinew and even longer and there are some farms.
The sinew is not collected, so it may be available cheaply, if you call the right time.

I should contact some Moose hunters this summer so I could get my share when the hunting starts, I know none personally but
I know people who rent land or who know hunters. The legs are generally considered to be without value and therefore generally fed to dogs or thrown away.
