Well after I flipped the Tip and they dried...I noticed some small cracks from Bending...and I didn't want to take off any more wood and makes the Tips work more than They already do...so I Sinewed them today to help support them ...plus maybe make them just a bit more Static than Working...we'll see what happens after They dry enough to work on again....OK all you Sinew Experts...How long should I wait on Tip Wraps before I can start tillering again?? I know how long to go on a whole Sinew Backing...but this is only One layer of Backstrap Sinew....so what do you think??

Nothing wrong with working tips.  How's it hold in up as far as set?

Still think a week at low humidity and only one course of sinew would be plenty of time for it to dry.

I am thinking about another layer of Backstrap...but I don't know if it really needs it...and I don't want to add extra weight that isn't necessary
