Yep I’m watching to Pat. Thanks for doing this for us to follow along.
Pat B:
Applying the sinew only takes a few days to a week or so. I'll let it cure for a month or two after that.
OK Stick, I hope it helpful for you.
Pat B:
I'll be starting the sinewing soon. I realized I had a bit more straightening to do first so yesterday I did that...
I also decided to rough up the back of the bow for better adhesion. I had some cambium remaining on the back and I didn't want it to impede the sinews adhesion. I got much of that remaining cambium off and scored it well over the remaining little bit. I use a Shinto rasp, dragged sideways along the back and upper edge of each limb and along the back of the handle...

Pat B:
Brad, I'm hoping to start the sinew in the next day or two. I like to have all my stuff available and nearby including my mental condition. (-S
