Pounding or soaking sinew

<< < (4/15) > >>

Danzn Bar:
I'm going to let it set until I get done caulking the kitchen counter, but all I can promise I'll report back on my findings by this time tomorrow....

Badger:
  I have never tried it wet. Might be worth a try.

Hawkdancer:
Soaking sounds easier and safer, if you keep your fingers out of the path of the awl!  I'll be trying it that way!  There could be a lot of sinew available next fall.

simson:
I started with pounding and shredding. Nowadays I soak over night and tear apart with two tools (a grip with a curved hooks mounted) while the sinew is piked on a big nail which is clamped in the vice.

PEARL DRUMS:
Back sinew, so neither I guess :)
