Hi my primitive brothers I'm in need of some sinew for a bow I have about 90% done. I want to back it as I may have violated the rings also to insure it won't break. I have arrows, flint, staves, or I can rough out a bow for u.. if u need something else please ask. I can easily buy it off the internet but am trying to give opportunity to make a good trade. Let me know ASAP...

I have lots of sinew, would love some flint or some arrow shafts. I have mule deer and elk sinew. some is processed and some is not.

I have'nt ever sinew backed a bow so I don't know how much it takes. I equate sinew amount in how many deer leg sinews it would take to do the job.
What kinda wood staves do you have ? ' Frank

I have whitetail back sinew, which works better for backing bows than leg sinew in my opinion because it yields longer fibers. I'd be interested in a stave as trade. I can provide an ounce of sinew right now, which should be enough to back your bow with a couple layers. I'll get more sinew tomorrow, and once it's dry I'll be able to provide two or three ounces. If you're interested, email me at minimalystic@gmail.com or PM me.

Im definatley interesed in the sinew if its flint shafts or staves I think I need around 10 hanks to be safe not sure what the weight is I will be able to meet the requirements for a few of u so please let me know

It you still need sinew I have lots, but it is not pounded. I have both backstrap and the 4 leg hanks from a buck I shot last Saturday that should be almost dry. In addition I have a lot of both types in the shop from previous years. I hope to get more sinew this weekend, I think a couple of us will be at the lease starting tomorrow afternoon. Since it's rifle season the odds are better that I'll come home with more tendons/sinew. I would trade for arrows or shafting.
