Ive been tempted to buy some and try. If you try some, let me know how you like it Bob.

I've seen tomahawks made using that gut from 3Rivers and it worked well and seemed very strong. I think it is too big in diameter for arrow or small knife hafting.

Thanks Pat. Not going to use it for hafting - I have an idea for another project, sounds like it will work well. Bob

  I bought a &^%$ lode of packs a few years back when they first got it. Or when I first saw it.
  It works really good on arrows,heads and nocks.
  But you'll soon find out you have to split, it the thick peices I've split twice.
  I've even backed a bow with it. It dos'nt have the reflexing propertys like sinew but dose sink up so. It's a lot of work just for backing.
  Gave me friend a couple packs he rolled it out with a rolling pin and said he'd get 3 and 4 strips out of eacjh strip. I did'nt go that far but did split it with a razor blade.

Thanks for the reply Roy. I plan on trying it for lacing a grip - Bob.
