richpierce:
Another possibility for the use of rodent tissues to fasten points is the use of tail tendons.  Anyone who has skinned trapped critters with long tails has seen the long white tendons that run from the root of the tail to the tip.  These are pure collagen and can be pulled with pliers and you have long thin sinew perfect for lashing small projects.  Could very well be gut; I am just mentioning another possibility.  There is a lot more gut than tail sinew.

snedeker:
thanksk for that inco pierce.  We may do some experimental work with tail versus gut
