Ifrit617:
Definitely a masterful backing.. I am curious about one thing though. I have heard many people say that when you sinew back a bow you have to go over the sides since the sinew shrinks as it dries.. I always thought that this would be kinda ugly.. It seems you have left your corners exposed however, and I like the look much better... In your experience does this work as well?

Sometimes I think to myself "Self, you need to start working with sinew and sinew back some bows" Then I see the pics of the sticky gooey mess and reach for bamboo rinds again.
I'm like that with sticky gooey stuff. LOVE bread, fresh baked breads. HATE sticky mucky hands enough to watch other people eat it and hope for a scrap. My 4 year old can some how con me into making her favorite Oatmeal bread. Why is it that when you have hand covered in crud . . . something itches, or the phone rings. :P

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I've learned a lot reading through it.
