Degreasing blackstrap sinew
« on: January 12, 2017, 10:00:59 am »
I've always backed bows with leg sinew, but I have a some back sinew that I'm going to try on a horn bow and I have heard that it needs cleaned better than leg sinew because it's more greasy. Te stiff I have doesn't seem that bad. What is the best method for doing this? Thanks

I've used back sinew on 5 or 6 bows and have never degreased anything, including the bows back. I know it doesn't answer your question of how to do it.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Dawn soap and water will do that.A good number of fresh rinseings after if your worried about that.
