I would suggest no less than 8" of reverse reflex, you'll lose no less than half.

So I put two full corses of sinew and one strip down the middle. Thanks again Eric. It's got about 7" of reflex. Now the wait .... How long is long enough?

3 weeks minimum in 40% humidity or less. 5-6 weeks if the humidity is 60-70%.

Did you use a mix of the leg and the back sinew, or just the back sinew I sent you?

Thanks Chris, how's it look?
Just the back sinew. I had enough so I figured why use the other. It was very nicely processed come pared to what I would have done lol.

Yes, leave it rev. Braced the whole time. Start another bow and put that one up somewhere to cure. Out of sight, out of mind so to speak. Patience is a must with sinew. If you rush it you will regret it. It looks pretty good so far. Josh

That's an even better idea. I suspect some knife work would not only pass the time nicely, but be greatly appreciated as well! Josh
