Butcher shop tendons.

(1/2) > >>

Taxus brevifolia:
Im not sure what's next. Can I start pounding them or do I need to dry them first? I'm hoping to eventually find a source for longer pieces.

GlisGlis:
make a search on youtube for "How to process cow sinew for backing bows"
there is a guy explaining all
I also found a source of cow tendons and watched that clip yesterday  :OK

as far as lenght i think they are very good even so.


someone, here on the forum, reported that cow tendons need some degreasing after drying
search the forum. there are threads on it

If you have a game processor in your area, you can probably score all you want and more!

Taxus brevifolia:
Thanks for the comebacks guys

BowEd:
I would strip as much usable length from those as you can while wet.It will be easier.Overlapping shorter pieces a good 1.5" will still serve as a good enough strength backing yet.The rest I'd just make sinew glue out of them.
