Sinew the tips also?

[razorsharptokill]

On a 58" osage selfbow with flipped tips, should I run the sinew all the way to the tips or only to the end of the working portion?

I would run the sinew right up to the tip overlay-not under.

I suggest,only sinewing a bow,where the sinew will be put under stress and being utilzed.Otherwise,it is just takein a ride and is unneccesary mass.

Only on the working part of the limb and through the handle. I stop mine about 5'' from the tips.

After about two weeks for the hide glue to set up, I strung it with about 2" of brace height. Pulled a couple inches... WOW! Seems to have picked up a few pounds.

Going to give it another week or so before tillering any further.

Let it set for a month, it will continue to cure for over 6 months.
