Hey fellas,
After getting nurse-maided along by Jon W and Oglala Bowyer.....I tried my hand at spreading sinew. So after getting some ready ( glue/ sinew/small bows) I laid down some sinew....here are pics of how that turned out.
I used back sinew and laid it down from center to tip, then a second layer 4" shorter than the first and overlapped at the center, then a 3rd at the center. I sized the bows first and waited 45min/1 hr then the soaked sinew laid down, then glued over and repeated till done. After about an hour or so the whole deal was wrapped with cotton bandages in both directions, left for about 3-4 hrs, and then unwrapped......and took the pictures. These are not to my liking but I do feel good about the process so will sinew both of the "big" bows tomorrow.
