Sinew for lacing leather?

[Don Armstrong]

Which size artifical sinew works best for lacing a leather grip. 3 rivers has 30-50 and 70 lb. Thanks, Don

I usually keep a roll of the thin stuff and a roll of the heavy stuff for different projects. I use the heavy(70#) stuff for sewing leather(probably best for your application too) and the thin stuff for wraps.  If you only want to buy one, get the heavy stuff and seperate it down to the size you want.

Im with Pat. I keep a roll of both around, they are cheap enough and last for years. I use the real stuff as often as I can. 70# is great for stitching grips or leather projects. Nylon serving material works great for grips as well, plus you can get several colors.
