Figured it up here in grains for sinew you used.Close to 1800.Is that including the wrappings on the handle too?That must end up to thickness wise being a good 1/4" thick for sure then dried.How wide did your bow end up too?
I used 1000 grains on my latest composite over a 48" length and it ended up a strong 5/32" thick on 1and1/4" wide@ fades limbs.I too use elk leg sinew mostly using my longest ones for the last course.Around 20" long I guess.

If I remember correctly 112 grams of shredded elk leg sinew weighed to have the exact same amount on each limb. Used the longest leg tendons I had(up to 22" long) to have unbroken layers on the top and bottom layer. Shorter bundles in between.
