question about sinew

[Blacktail]

i sinew backed a bow this moring...but i rehydrated to much sinew and the bow is done...SO,would the sinew still be good if dried out...thanks john

[Pat B]

John, yes!
lay it out on some wax paper or paper towel and let it dry then just store it in a Ziploc bag. It will rehydrate easily.
I use some back strap sinew I salvaged from a yew paddle bow that blew up a few years ago for tying on heads and fletching but could rehydrate and use as a backing.

Should be fine. If nothing else, you can use it to make sinew glue next time you have something you'd use an adhesive with.

Or throw the whole mess in a plastic bag and pop it in the freezer.

Thanks so much guys for the info. I will jump on this right now. John
