I am really enjoying this build along as well Bryce! You make it look easy! I'm kinda inspired to try my own sinew backed bow project.

Great job!

Hey, dude, I'm a bit late to this party.
Great build along...
I'm a bit worried as you seem to have strange fibrous stuff growing out of your head :o... I have a vague recollection of having something similar about 30 years ago, but can't quite put my finger on it.
Do you have a source for that stuff, I reckon it might make a good bowstring or backing >:D

Thank you gentlemen it's not as easy as it looks but it's also not too difficult.
Sinew is magical stuff.

Well Dave, if it survives we'll do some shootin'


Yes the fibers coming out of my head just don't seem to stop, it's an odd adaptation.
But it keeps my ears warm :)

Lol my sister cuts my hair but lately she was too pregnant to cut it, and now she doesn't have enough time with the baby... So I just let it go :D

Bryce how does the store bought hide glue dry compared to what you mix.

It seems to dry all the same, no faster, no slower.

This is coming along real nice Bryce.  Can't wait for that sinew to cure.

Very nice Bryce.Explanations,pictures,and process.Thanks for sharing that.I don't use a shredder just keep rippin it smaller and smaller,but that shredder looks like a good gadget to have around.I love watching sinew do its' work.Especially when shooting holding reflex etc.You are'nt gonna reverse her any huh?That's ok.One other thing though.....You crown the center some don't you?And how much sinew did you use with this one?Again nice work.She'll be a good one.

I'm going to tiller it to about 25" then reverse brace the last 2.5 (maybe more) courses. That way it's nice and even, for the most part.
I'm not sure how much sinew I put on. My goal is to bring the neutral plane to the very back of the wood. So I'm just going on what feels right.
