Title: Artificial Sinew
Post by: Grenadier on January 27, 2018, 06:12:31 AM
Ordered a spool of artificial sinew about a year ago. This stuff is fine for short run projects but anything longer it begins to separate and fray like crazy. Recently, I was digging through and old box of supplies and I found a small bank of artificial sinew from many years ago. This stuff is much better androundrsthetthan the flat stuff I am currently using. Is there a current source for the higher quality round artificial sinew?

OK, pards, put up some links for your suppliers. Then we can add this to the FAQ thread for future reference.

I'm using a big spool from Tandy, I think. Could be from Crazy Crow. I've stitched a fringed rifle case with one continuous thread and had no fraying. It gets a little funky at the needles but all that gets cut off.

I bought a spool of this from Tandy many years ago and have used it for several projects. The only one I have a picture of is a stool I made for a friend last year. I will probably never use all of the spool.

Nice looking stool, Lucky. The sinew is a good look on it.

It isn't often you can sit comfortably on barbed wire.  ;D
