Hey guys this is my first attempt at processing sinew. I have pounded out one tendon so far and it is in large strands halfway down to the Y... I was going to continue pounding it out and then rip it down into smaller pieces. My question is how small do you want to make it and how do you make it fluffy looking. I have tried to find somewhere on this and TG about processing it down but haven't found a really clear process-a-long or any great pictures. If anyone out here could help I could really use it. I would love to have this process and glued on at the end of the weekend. I plan on putting up a post on this take down I am working on as soon as it is all glued up. Thanks guys in advance!

PA magazine had a great article about two issues ago. Start to finish sinew prep and good pix to boot.
