How much sinew would I need for a 64" bow?

Depends on how many layers you plan on using.

About 7-8 deer leg tendons I believe but like scrub buster said, depends on how many layers you add and how thick each bundle is too.

depens on what animal sinew you are using also, just curious why are you deciding to go with sinew on a 64 inch bow if your worried about the durability hemp or linen will do the trick I only use sinew for the very short bows that are stressed to lower string follow
