The limb thickness was 9.4-8.8mm when I applied sinew. I did not remove any more wood, since I was running out of wood.

If/when horn needs to be taken away, I can take it after sinewing.

(No piece of core has been detached, it is only picture...)

I see you are getting along, what kind of sinew and glue did you use?

Mostly moose<Alces alces> sinew, some red deer<Cervus elaphus> sinew from highland horn mostly on handle.

The sal is mostly covered with fully intact lengths of sinew barely long enough.

I put most good sinew from 10 legs. The moose were shot with small moose "vasa" permits. The legs were cut in the knee. I took the full length of sinew and did not cut the legs in "wrist" for easier processing.

Horn is from this board. Mapple is from local wood store.

Hide glue from dick.
