Well the vote seems to be unanimous.

I think I’ll be pounding sinew on my lunch break

Piddler:
Don't mean to hijack your thread BJ but I have a sinew question that I need some answers on. How thick do you take the sinew down to when breaking it down. I know the more you tear it apart it starts to come apart in short pieces. So, would something like a #2 pencil lead work or can it be bigger or should it be smaller diameter wise.

Parnell:
I always enjoy the process of sinew backing short bows like this!  It always amazes me when the sinew starts curing up and setting.

bradsmith2010:
there is some nice info on Pats thread,, but its pretty forgiving, finer seems to be the preference
yes its like magic when it starts to dry

Ask away piddler. I’ve got a few myself.

It seems like I remember Dbar soaking his sinew an processing it hydrated. Seems like I remember him saying it really worked good

Brad I was planning on keeping an eye on Pat’s build.
