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.
