how long must sinew dry

Post by yuna12 » Fri Jul 27, 2012 3:33 pm

Hello,
I made a new hornbow with 4 layers of sinew.
Between the layers I had 4 day's drying and than the next layer.
The last layer of sinew was put on 23-7.

How long must the sinew dry before stringing the bow.
And I have red that a horn bow needs to be strung for
about a week. Why is that????

Best holiday's,
