Ostrich sinew..
« on: July 12, 2011, 07:55:00 AM »
Hi guys I hope some of the bowyers over there might be able to help me.Do you ever use the leg sinew from ostrich as bow backing? We have a bird here in Oz called an Emu that is very similiar to your bird and would like to try them for some bow backing.Thanks in advance..

Neat to have found your answer so soon!
Never really though about sinew from other animals.
Lots of possibilities come to mind.....

I have used Ostrich and Emu with good luck on both.
I love the long ostrich for wrapping points with sinew as well as tying on feathers, good stuff mate.
