I used to use the artificial stuff all the time, but now that I have used the real thing I found it to be much better.  Kenneth

Ain't that the truth. As it dries it get's stiff and hard and tighten's up - that artificial is only good till ya get the real stuff :).

  Yes, you can use artificial sinew, but it would feel ,,kinda,,dirty. ;)

  i have never used it before and was wondering would i have to glue it  for it to stick or what

Adding super glue or TBIII will help but still not as tight or solid as real sinew.      Pat

some of some field points I make for cane arrows, 
LittleJohn,
Can you tell me more about those field points? Looks like a nail as the tang but what is the head end?

Mark: I believe Kenneth is brazing on a blob of brass (brazing rod is brass) then grinds them into points on the head of a sixteen penny nail.
