Don't see why not. Ought to be good medicine, too-wouldn't it would be pretty cool to have a bow backed with coyote sinew? Come to think of it, I've got some in the freezer that I had forgotten about until I read your post.

If it is long enough it should work like any other sinew.    Pat

A good and low-labor form of sinew is the tail tendons of any critter.  Cut the tail off right at the butt and skin the skin off and you'll see long tendons you can pull out with pliers from the tail.  These are a size ready to wrap arrowheads, feathers, etc w/o splitting.
