mixing sinew types?
« on: December 09, 2022, 10:32:28 am »
Morning!  I find myself about to start a new juniper bow project (I would just say a juniper bow, but that might be a bit optimistic).  I have quite a bit of bison sinew, a good pile of elk tendons, and a little bit of pronghorn.  Is there any problem with mixing sinew from different types of animals?  I can't imagine why there would be, but thought I'd check with the experts.

Any insights and wisdom appreciated!

I would think it doesn't make a difference but others may have a different opinion.

I've mixed deer and bison and didn't notice any difference.

Same here.  I mix it all the time. So long as it’s clean and fat free I think your good.  I’ve even mixed back sinew and leg tendon.  Once it’s all broken down it’s essentially the same for our purposes.
