Awesome Pat!   Thanks for taking us along.  Did you weight the amount of sinew you laid down?

Thanks guys.
 Aaron, no I didn't weigh the sinew. I add the first layer as evenly as I can then use the second layer to fill in the voids. The final layer I used long, moose leg sinew to smooth out the top layer. I've never weighed or measured sinew before adding it.

Ohma, that is sheep's fleece that Clint sent me. I assume he dyed it or got it already that color. Art Butner first showed me fleece like this for string silencers and it really works well. It holds up a lot better in wet conditions than other string silencers I've used.

The silencers look to be bark tanned shearling. Its kinda expensive but great stuff with lots of practical applications. You can find it at Tandy Leather.

Just read this from your link on the other post. Really nice job Pat. I love the way stuck with it. Do you think the sinew improved the way it shoots compared to the unbacked version?

Sidewinder, because the recurves pulled out I think I lost the extra performance I was hoping for with the sinew. She still shoots well though, just not quite what I was hoping for. This is my first sinew backed yew bow so I don't really have anything to compare it to.

Is think if you just over compensate a bit on the next one, it will improve, the sinew is tricky,,
