Pounding or soaking sinew
PatM:
If you don't have sufficient fingernails you can also just poke a screwdriver through the center and get it started and then go from there. I use an awl in each hand sometimes.
You should like the results.
Danzn Bar:
Thanks PatM ... got NO fingernails, but will work with what I have on hand.
Thanks.

BowEd:
Cool DBar.... (-P You don't have a spare hackberry in mind do you???
Thanks for sharing that Pat.It's something I could kick myself for not trying that it's probably so much easier.
I've got some rock hard long elk and moose leg tendons I'm afraid might take more than a day to soften up.Think I'd start out with warm water at first.
DC:
Does it make that tangle at the "Y" any easier to deal with?

Yes, I've noticed you can strip the fibers right through those sections with much less binding. You will still find the cartilaginous parts have to be removed and discarded but soaking makes those spots much more clearly defined.
