JackCrafty:
Looks great!  ;D

Gus:
That is cool as heck!

Gotta give that a try...
I'll be looking for that build along as well.

Here's a link to my playlist of sinew bowstring videos on youtube.  Basically the same as the build-a-long but the video series explains it better, IMO.

Pearl, are you asking about the final drying, or the stretchiness that occurs while shooting, or as it pertains to humidity? 

I might be able to address a question about final drying.  The rest I have to experiment with and likely do not know enough to say.  Others on the site may know more. 

JackCrafty:
Sinew strings are not that stretchy, actually.  Sinew behaves a lot like polyester cord, as far as stretching is concerned.  Sinew is a lot less stretchy than nylon.
