Sinew from the leg or back tendons of large animals has been a valuable resource since the stone age. it's often used in bowstrings and making bows, but is also excellent as a strong thread for other purposes.
Today I am processing fresh tendon into a storable form and pounding it to release the strong collagen fibres which are perfect for cordage making.
I now have a 'buy me a coffee' page which helps fund my ongoing research and the making of these free videos. If you'd like to support me, please visit ko-fi.com/sallypointer Thank you!
