How to process sinew from a goat

<< < (3/3)

LOL! Sometimes the easiest thing is right in front of you. Now I have to convince the wife for more room.

bubby:
urine is actually used to tan certain leathers, I guess if it works for you keep at it, but not this guy :laugh :laugh:

Just get it as clean as you can by scraping and washing, then put it up to dry. As far as getting it ready to use it depends on wether it is leg or back sinew. Back sinew is easily seperated by rolling and twisting it in your hands and then pull the strands apart with yor fingers. Leg tendons must be pounded to get them to seperate. I use a hammer. Some use rocks.

Pat B:
Try to get the hide and make rawhide from it. Goat rawhide is very thin but strong and makes great bow backings.
 If you are worried about bacteria just wash the shredded sinew in Dawn dish soap and rinse with warm water.
