Frozen sinew.
« on: June 22, 2010, 07:06:27 am »
Hi guys,
I've just been offered a whole heap of frozen ostrich sinew :). Do any of yous guys have experience with frozen sinew. Does freezing degrade it?

Regards
James

Never thought of Ostrich as a source of sinew. Learn something new every day.

LMAO  :) :) ;D That's great.  But seriously, Kiwijim, I'd be glad to take some of that off your hands. Let me know if you want to do a trade.

I din't mind trading, but I do mind postage costs. I'm in New Zealand. Postage out of here is usually prohibitive
