I need some sinew to back my bow with. I was given some frozen unprocessed backstrap by mullet on here but my wife threw it out because it "stinks" I havent had the heart to tell him yet ! I am looking for enough to make three layers on my 1.5" wide limbs 66" ntn. If you dont need shafts let me know if you are interested in anything else.
Thanks guys !

Stinky to his wife, not, real men. :) He hasn't been married as long as you and me. ;)

I would imagine you need to break the wife in as to the smells shes going to encounter just get some junk smelly stuff and keep it around and once shes gotten used to it sinew will seem like flowers! >:D :P ;D
-
Ya Miss Joanie will ask me sometimes,what is that smell,I will say just some dead stuff ;) :) :) then she says fine ,just get it out of my House. :-[ and I do,most of the time. :)

Sounds like Ms. Joanie has you trained pretty well Pappy! :D

What is it about women. Though very tolerant, Miss Heather also thinks it smells bad. Frankly, I don't think it smells bad at all.
-
Heck no,I chew the stuff,she thinks I'm crazy,what about all the germs she will say and did you wash your hand after touching it. ??? She may be right. :-\ :-\ at least about the crazy part. ;) ;D ;D

Hi seminolewind. I have dried whitetail back sinew, and would be happy to trade some for cane arrow shafts as long as they're of goof quality. 2 ounces of sinew should put 3 layers on most bows with some left over. How many cane shafts would you trade for this amount of sinew? Can you post pics of the shafts? Has anyone gotten shafts from him and can vouch for quality?

Eric;
It's Tonkin Shafts, They come from the Bamboo Supply here in Lakeland. They are excellent arrow material. You can sand the nodes down completely without compromising the arrow. And I can vouch for Seminolewind, Elijah is a good guy.

Hey guys sorry for the late response I should have said something earlier. As of now Trapper Rob has offered to send me some leg sinew and apparently it is in the mail. I do however have a lot of this bamboo and it is very good quality although in raw form. It will need some slight straightening and shaping on the nodes. Eddie can vouch for it since he is the one who put me onto this supplier here in Lakeland. They are all separated by diameter and cut to length. I would be interested in trading for other items since I now have the sinew portion taken care of. I am open to any suggestions !

Seminolewind, I highly suggest trading with Eric. His sinew is clean, well processed and doesn't stink at all. It's amazing stuff. His stuff is the best I have EVER used. I don't think anyone processes sinew better than Eric.

Thanks for the advice I will send a PM. FYI I just got in some sinew from "trapper rob" and I must say he really came through with beautiful stuff. Dried to perfection and clean as can be. I would recommend trading with him to anybody on here.
