Pounding or soaking sinew

(1/15) > >>

PatM:
   Which do you prefer for processing?

Springbuck:
  Don't you kind of have to do both?  I mean, I have simply pounded and shredded, but when soaked, I have to do some decent pounding, too, just on a softer pestle.

But, I'm a sinew novice, so I'll check back.

Danzn Bar:
Pounding....don't know how to work soaked?

PatM:
Most of it you can just split it with your fingernail and once you split it  each time gets even easier.  The benefit is you don't waste any with run-out or weakened fibers from beating it.

 It also separates with half the effort.

BowEd:
Well that's interesting.I usually pound it while dry then seperate it.What about the chaffy skin that can be on it?Then your way after seperating it's used right away?
