Sinew? Hide glue?

Blaflair2:
Would I be able to put skins on it? If I get it to that point I'm putting my all in! I'm trying to make the bow I see in my head. Lol I know chances of failure are high. But I'm confident if I go slow I can pull it off hopefully. Would think leather instead of rawhide work? I have that?

mullet:
Not leather, use rawhide, And, yes, you can put snake skins over rawhide or paint it.

Blaflair2:
I just get it from the pet store soak it and unroll it? Isn't it pretty thick?

mullet:
Trade someone on this site for rawhide, (deer or goat) or buy it from Three Rivers.

Morrow45105:
Blaflair, if you decide to go pet store route you're gonna need to get one 16"-18" rawhide bone and it costs about $20. I've used it before and it works well but it's hit or miss. You might get lucky and get a good enough bone to back several bows or you might not and it could have a ton of wholes in it when you unroll it. But usually you'll get enough to back at least a single bow. Good luck
