mixing sinew types?
(1/1)
WhistlingBadger:
Morning! I find myself about to start a new juniper bow project (I would just say a juniper bow, but that might be a bit optimistic). I have quite a bit of bison sinew, a good pile of elk tendons, and a little bit of pronghorn. Is there any problem with mixing sinew from different types of animals? I can't imagine why there would be, but thought I'd check with the experts.
Any insights and wisdom appreciated!

I would think it doesn't make a difference but others may have a different opinion.

I've mixed deer and bison and didn't notice any difference.

Same here. I mix it all the time. So long as it’s clean and fat free I think your good. I’ve even mixed back sinew and leg tendon. Once it’s all broken down it’s essentially the same for our purposes.
