Sinew or rawhide for very tight ringed white ash???

(1/3) > >>

rcoen2:
So, I've got a 64" long piece of nicely reflexed Oregon ash.  And I'm thinking that there's no way I'll be able to perfectly chase a ring because the rings are so thin and tight.  So in a situation like that is rawhide enough to hold the back together with potential ring violations and a very thin growth ring overall?  Or is the rawhide not going to be enough and so maybe sinew is necessary? 

What do you all think?

I think rawhide would work,  but sinew will for sure,,so up to you,, :) :) :)

Pat B:
I'd say rawhide too.

Russ:
+1 for rawhide

Like others have already stayed I second the raw hide.  I’ve had success with raw hide and tite bond 3 on violated backs and where I’ve pulled a splinter even.  It’s tough stuff.   Best of luck.
