Otoe Bow:
Come on Mike, you're going to have to drop the Tejas from your name talking like that.   ;D

Ok I think I got it straight now.  The stuff that oozes straight from the tree is for making glue.  The manure is for strength and the charcoal is to filter out the smell of the manure.   ;).  Pine tar is for waterproofing the sinew to keep it from coming undone when it get moist.   ::)
