Up for trade: I have several Ounces of processed whitetail deer leg sinew. I only use rear legs. Each piece of sinew has been processed to the thinnest possible width. Each strand has been individually measured and each piece has been cleaned. When each piece is straightened for measurement they are tested for strength, any piece that broke when pulled was discarded. There will be no extra work required from the person once they receive this sinew. Although I can't claim 100% perfection for each strand. The strands in the bundle are between 7 and 12 1/2 inches long. And I have four ounces of sinew that each strand is no less than nine inches. Also the sinew that is between 7 and 13 or so is pretty balanced. Meaning it is not mostly seven inches and just a few pieces are 11 inches or above. I also have individual pieces if you don't need two ounces. I will trade half ounces on up also. Generally it takes two ounces to back a bow. If you are wondering. If you have processed sinew then you know how much work is required. I will be so bold to say that my sinew is nicest sinew out there. If you disagree I will pay for you to ship it back to me.
I am in need most of flint, chert, obsidian. I also need leather, antler, necklace making stuff or things you may have made. also steel for " flint and steel" Message me please with any questions or if you are interested and would like to see photos. Thank you.
Note: I am unable to load pictures here with my I pad. So please just ask and I will be happy to email you pictures. Sorry for the incovience.

Ive got an old file, some flint(possible... I don;t like to trade good flint) some mild steel, I also make knives and stuff, mostly neck knives. I can make things from mild steel, you name it.

Ill take enough to back a 66" longbow with 3 layers. I have a 60" long yew branch. Would that work? $$

i'm a blacksmith and I can forge you a steel if you want, I forge them from high carbon spring steel, I usualy use agate instead of flint it seems to give off a hotter spark I can usually get a fire going with 3 strikes or less, I've found that really hard flint or chert (not heat treated) seems to spark really well but the spark isn't as hot as agate.
