Looking mighty fine there Bryce.

For some reason I have not been keeping up on this build and just saw it again today. Very timely, for me since I just started a sinew job of my own (my first.)

This was great info and really reinforced what Pearl Drums described as his method. Main thing I see is that I need to lay some more courses. I didn't get near enough sinew on the back. Otherwise, you have done a super job of explaining and photographing the process.

Thanks much
Scott

Looks great Bryce.  Surprisingly light weight with the thickness of sinew.  I was impressed how smooth you got it too.  Can't wait to shoot it! ;)

Are you still impressed with the liquid hide glue? That's what I used.

Dubois, it's a good glue. Doesn't shrink like Knox. But I'm guessing it all works the same.
