What, no pictures of sinew stuck to every part of your hands and arms.... :o You're missing half of the fun of a sinew job. Wow, I have never spent the time to lay out the sinew, looks like it would really be handy that way. I've also never combed out my sinew and I'm definitely trying that next time. I love build-a-longs. Doesn't matter how many times you've done what's being presented, you always learn something new. :)

There is a Youtube video on making Korean Horn Bows, in Korean, about a Korean making the traditional bows. In that he's sinewing it the same way and using a metal comb. Like a realy fine one. It looked similar to a flea comb like you might get at the pet store to combing out your dog after a flea bath. ALL his patches seemd to be pretty shot but they were well woven togeather and staggered.

What a great build along and one fine piece of wood, very organized and precise, I'm sure I would
be a much better bowyer if I were that way, I love all the bows of yours I've seen on here they are
works of art and very inspireing thank you!
