Thinking about sinew

I say go for it.  It’s got some work involved but the results are great when done right.  It’s like natures fibreglass.  There’s just something about the process that connects with me in some weird way. Can’t quite pin it down but I dig it!

Was a busy weekend with birthday party and a magical transformation into JollySt Nick.

I didn’t have much time to process sinew but I experimented a little and hard coming up with something that looks as nice as yours Dave. I can see you have the process down to a T.



I say go for it to Arvin. You’ll probably still finish it before I finish up that bow from that stage you sent me.

I was just looking at my bows and when I looked up I saw this in the mirror

Hahaha.  That guy is everywhere!

I’ve been working on sinew when I get a chance. I think I made pretty good progress.

It seems like everyone said they used back sinew and and previously that’s what I have used whenever I used sinew

I’m kinda liking this leg tendons sinew now the further I get breaking it down.

The pieces are nearly the same length. Back sinew might have a few longer strands up the center but then shorter on the sides.

I haven’t actually uses these yet but I think I’m done breaking it down until I use it now?

I basically have it separated into a couple strands till about a half inch from one end. There I left it to hold bundles together. If I need it I can pull it off like a sticky note

I don’t know if my plan is a good one but I can adapt it if I need to
