Sinew
jamie:
backstraps work fine and are easier to prepare. leg tendons need quite a bit of work and arent as long but if we were doing this for ease we would all be shooting guns or compounds. i take the leg tendon and pound it with a round rock or heavy piece of wood. this will break up the casing and youll get 4 or 5 nice tendons from the main sinew bundle. take these and pound em again. each of these will also have a casing. beat them so the fibers loosen up . some will pound untill the fibers are all seperated. i do it long enough so i can pull the tendons apart in my hands. dont pull strips from the tendons this just creates more work. i just pull the tendons apart so i have what looks like a hair net made of fine string. i'll post a photo later.
jamie:
heres a pic to give you an idea . not the best piece but itll show you what i mean.
Pappy:

c persons:
well i don't know how to tell but if its really waxy does that mean its leg sinew not backstrap? and could somebody tell me some uses for sinew?
