Gordon:
Before applying the snake skins I dye the back using Medium Brown leather dye. I do this because it will help bring out the pattern on the skins. Some folks prefer that the skins have a more subdued look and that’s okay, but I like the pattern to pop out.
I’m going to wrap the tips with sinew, so before the skins go on I apply the length-wise strands of sinew. I work the sinew down to fine strands, size the tips with warm hide glue and then apply the sinew to the tips on strand at a time. I make sure that I lay down several strands in the string groves to provide reinforcement.
