Ok, I just said to myself, I should call the butcher and bother them.  They said they won't take the time to take off the silverskin off the back straps, due to damage to the meat.  But they said this is the tendon that connects the back to the neck and said some use this for primitive projects. 

Glad I got it figured out.  Still don't have what I want.  But after drying it and tearing it into quarters, it seems like will work for wrappings and such. 

Hope mullet still wants it.

that looks just like the neck tendin I got a few weeks ago I ended up tossing is cause it would stretch then snap just like a rubberband. :)

Sorry to hear that, I even Rebacked my osage plaines bow with Deer sinew Because i was doubting the neck tendin, now if I would have started with the cow leg tendin, that may have been  been ok.Phillip

After seeing how it acted after being dried, I don't think I want it on a bow.  Guess I have to toss all of it.  Glad I found out what it was before shipping to mullet.

I didn`t know what it actually, when I got horsetendons some day. It was fat and cracked into little parts. It was sinew, but was the problem? I don`t know. The next horsesinew was okay. It behaved like all the others I`ve worked with.

Hi Guys,  The topic of neck sinews has come up before.  Payne-Galway mentions it as the sinew to use for crossbows, etc., but it does not work!  It won't dry or shred properly.  Dispose of it and get back or leg sinews.    Ron

I tossed it.  wasted time but lesson learned.  I still have 5lbs of it in the freezer.  I plan on throwing it away too.  I wonder if one could make hide glue from it?
