my first cordage
« on: November 18, 2007, 09:59:15 pm »
i made some sinew cordage from my dads doe he shot.  The hunting for me was bad. i was disappointed because we were hunting our friends farm on one of the prime west-central counties in Illinois you should see the size of the deer they have killed.  Our friends say it has to be 4 1/2 years old and have a 150" rack
well back to cordage i took the sinew and broke it into threads then it dried and i soaked it until it got soft which only took about a minute then i cordaded it. I didnt really know what i was doing but i got a good strong cord. Sinew is amaizing stuff if i get a deer i will save it all. know that i know how to cord i really want to make a bow string.

i cant take pictures because my computers down and im on my sisters laptop and it  doesnt have the right software
These pretzels are making me thirsty.

last week i was able to harvest a doe and from her i took some back strap sinew along with the meat etc. Now that i have dried it out i am kinda lost with what to do with it,  if any one reads this and knows how to cord a bow string give me a holler or point me in a good direction.
