My buddy, Dave, was intent on getting a stick ready to work on at the classic. So he stopped by on Sunday and I helped him take the excess off.



Looks like he's got the feel of it now! COMEON classic!!!

Hey! I know that dude!
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Put all my sinew scraps in a crock pot and put it on low over night.  The next day I strained all the remaining sinew scraps out and was left with liquid sinew glue.  I poured it on a plastic cooking tray and let it gel up.  Then I cut the gelled glue into little squares and let it dry.

 I just registered to PA and am trying to figure the whole thing out. I was wondering how you start a thread?

Thanks outlaw,
Neat way to use any and all scraps.
So do you soak it till soft and apply or cook again?

Here's what I did today. Wonder if you could use fish cartalege for glue too?

Dang nice fish zuma! Is that you? I hear the air bladder of fish makes the best glue. Glue comes from collagen.

Nice striper, Zuma. The skin would make a cool bow backing.

Nice catch Zuma!


When I'm ready to use the glue I soak it in a little bit of water for a day or so to rehydrate it.  Then heat it up and its ready to use.
