Sinew from red deer legs, a 100 % natural material.

Red deer leg sinew 8 - 10 inch long pieces, carefully air dried for a fine even product that is responsibly sourced within the UK.
Red deer leg sinew, approximately 8 - 10 inch* uncombed length. This is the raw form and will need processing to be used for backing a bow or twisting into sinew twine. The cartilage remains on one end to prevent shortening whilst being carefully air dried to produce a fine even product of consistent quality, that is responsibly sourced within the UK. Keeping the left overs and cartridge from your processing can result in a quantity of material to be homogenized into a pure protein glue. Sold individually so you can choose as many as you need for your project. *(it may take 35-50+ pieces to back one horn bow and more still for a primitive stave bow or multiple layers, only you can estimate your project requirements). This is a highly seasonal product. We are trying to source a wholesale quantity as soon as possible. All enquirers are welcome to speak directly to the owner of Shire Archery about this and other raw materials you may be after - no harm in asking.
