Best online store for sinew?
« on: August 10, 2016, 09:48:08 pm »
Hey guys,  I'm looking for sinew online,  it tough looking because it's a rareish item and a lot of the time it's unfeasibly expensive for bow making purchases,  any one know the best place to get reliable and bulk/cheap sinew?

Thanks - turtle dragon

You might be able to trade for some on here.  Sinew is a lot of work, I am not sure there is a "cheap" source!  Several of archery stores sell it.  Good luck.
Enjoy the hunt!  Mitch

If you live by a local slaughter house you might get some beef sinew. If you have hunting buddies tell them how to harvest it and ask them to save it for you.

Chinese food stores also have beef tendons.

I've got some if you have something to trade.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

There is a guy on ebay from wyoming selling elk and deer sinew. Great deal. I've been getting mine from him for years now. His name is Mike Foltmer

Hey thanks guys,  Moscow mule seems like best bet,  but also luckily here in San Francisco there are plenty of extra Chinese stores, mongols used beef tendons after all.

I found him from his ad in Primitive Archer.  Have bought a number of antelope rawhides from him for stupidly cheap prices.  About as thin as the cardstock you use for printing business cards, and every bit as tough as you could hope!  He's a great guy, and an honest dealer. I haven't talked to him in years, did he move to Wyoming, he was in Colorado?

I have some whitetail back sinew I'd be willing to trade. If you're still looking for sinew, send me a PM and we can work something out.

I was wondering when you would pop up. :) Best, ready to go sinew you can get.
