Title: Weighing sinew bundles for sinew backing?
Post by: toomanyknots on October 31, 2010, 09:45:03 pm

I was just thinking of ways to get a sinew backing as even as possible. Has anyone done this? What instrument exactly would weight such light little bundles?

Weighing them is the way Ed Scott showed me how to do it.

No he didn't weigh each bundle. just the total ounces he put on it.
