Yes from what I can gather they dry the sinew in a hotbox once it has lost the intial chunk of moisture. They only apply it in 1 mm thick layers. 1mm thick takes about 1 week to dry.

BowEd:
I've never combed my sinew but always contemplated it.I can see why though.It looks and they say too the thickness of human hairs.It looks absolutely unbreakable.
A visual of what Adam K says about it.The added visual process of arrow manufacture was nice too.
