Pounding or soaking sinew
willie:
Pat, the link should go to a page at the University of OK where you can down load "The Ray Collection from the Hupa Reservation" It has some additional details about the bow building Ray documented when he was there, among with other facets of Hupa culture.
The blue "download" button in the upper right lets you retrieve the complete paper.
DC:
I got it now, Willie, thanks
Aaron H:
Pg 12 is the one you want

Well, ima hafta try this too. I have just benn pulling it apart dry without pounding it at all. I found twisting it a bunch like you wpuld if you were trying to snap a green twig, works the fibers loose well enough to pull them out. If doing it wet works, i may just do my twist, worjing it good, then soak and pull.

A great way for not much waste for a wood bow. For a high stressed composite horn bow I would not use it as the closed fibers are not as able to accept the glue.
