??? about sinew

<< < (6/6)

Boro:
Ok, pounding time...
I didn't really pound it, I bought grip pliers (will send some photos), set it to hard and voila, I got some tendon fibers. It seems quite gentle this material. Can it be that wildlife tendons are not so gentle as these?

Boro:
This grip plyers test was bad. They were still wet so it was somewhat easier to separate them, but as they were getting dryer they were also harder. I am having problems with pounding becaouse I live in apartment and neighbours are not very happy with that. Anyway, I did use some for backing a bow (witch broke) and they seem quite hard. Wood broke but sinew is holding. Then again, I have never seen any other sinew backed bow but this one.
