High-quality processed natural sinew fibers from water buffalo and red deer, carefully prepared for traditional horn bows, composite bows, sinew backing, and other traditional crafts.
Our sinew is hand-cleaned to remove excess fat, then dried and separated into strong, thin fibers, saving bowyers considerable preparation time.
Available Types
Water Buffalo Backstrap Sinew: approx. 50–80 cm / 19.6–31.5"
Red Deer Leg Sinew: approx. 38–40 cm / 14.9–15.7"
The fibers are dry, clean, strong, flexible, and well suited for layering with traditional animal or fish glue when making horn bows. Approx. 75–150 g (2.7–5.4 oz) may be used for one horn bow, depending on bow size and construction method.
Ideal for horn bow makers, traditional archery craftsmen, bowyers, composite bow restoration, and other natural-material craft projects.
Other Traditional Uses
Also suitable for traditional leather sewing, natural cordage, primitive tool hafting, knife and axe handle wrapping, historical bow restoration, museum replicas, reenactment projects, and other traditional natural-fiber crafts.
Experimental Veterinary Suture Research
These natural fibers may also be used as raw material samples in laboratory research on experimental sutures for animal surgery, including strength, flexibility, and handling tests. They are supplied unsterilized for material research only and are not intended for surgery on live animals.

Good stuff. I had to do very little to prepare it for a hornbelly bow. Probably don't have to do anything with it for a self bow. Meat and grease are removed. Good sinew. I've ordered from him 3 times
