That is phenomenal.  I have an elk rack I want to do the same thing with.

Really nice, I like that coating for the sinew, I did a similar coating on a sinew backed juniper bow, it has held up well.

Hi,
I`ve made many replicas of Native American`s bows and I always wonder, how can this resist the strain? I never made one, because I think I`d fail...
Could you please tell the interested: "How to..."
Regards Uwe
