No less than 3 is my number.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Not sure on the number, but an ounce does 2-3 layers for me.

More than you would think is my answer.  I always end up using more than I think I will.  Just as Pearly ;)
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I would prep about 10 back sinews so I'd have plenty of extra.  I'm lazy and I use leg sinew to make the glue.   :D
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
