Egyptian composite build a-long

welch2:
Horn and sinew are always criticized for being to heavy.
Well I put the bow in the tub to soak off the horn and sinew .Look how high it's floating.

sonny:
horn and sinew are a fairly small percentage of that bow though, no ??

welch2:
About 1/3 the volume I think.

Ralph

michbowguy:
will the sinew still have decent properties after its been colored,and leeched in water?
or will it "soak" up the hide glue once it dries again, just like new?

jamie

welch2:
Yes you can reuse the sinew .A couple folks tell me they like used sinew better.
