Topic: Sinew

If anyone will be making the trek to Korea, I've had a request for sinew.  It's increasing harder for bowyers in this country to get it, for a couple of reasons.  So, if anyone can bring some with them if they visit, the bowyers in the country would certainly be appreciative.

Re: Sinew

What are the specs of the sinew that is needed ? Length? Width? Thickness?

Re: Sinew

Usually, Korean bowyers use backstrap sinew of varying length.  The longer the better, as the bowyers cut and bundle according to what they need.
