Yes Arvin.  They are.  I’ll slim them down a bit more on final sand and shaping after sinew

Here’s a quick little video I did today to show how I prepare my sinew for laying down.  If it’s any use to guys out there thinking of doin sinew or Leary of trying it.  It’s not too bad of a job if you get organized and get everything set up before hand.  Also a couple pics of how I pound out my sinew.  I use a piece of muscle wood and a stump.  Wood on wood.  Anyway hope it helps someone out there. 

Cheers

I need you to show me how to do that.

Here is the first layer on the bow.  About 40-45 grams.  I layed this first layer down in three bundles.  One pre measured bundle for each limb and then a cap bundle over lapping the limb bundles on the handle.  Just like most things devil is in the details and prep work ahead of time.  Here’s a couple pics and a short video clip of me laying the sinew. 

Cheers.
