Osage splinter! Sinew and TBIII or Hide Glue?

[Chad Orde]

Hey Guys,
Finished up a Osage bow and was about to put the finish on but wanted to shoot it one last time and and crack! A very very small splinter on the edge of the limb on the back. Filled the crack with super glue and am going to wrap deer sinew around the limb.
SHOULD I use hide glue or Titebond 3 ?
All the wood glue I used for furniture gets super hard and too brittle maybe? read some where you can use Titebond III for backing a bow and its water proof Viola??
Thanks
Chad

TBIII is weather proof.

Round all your edges cus it helps prevents splinters from lifting at the edges,and titebondIII will work fine with a sinew wrap.

Either glue will work with sinew. I think for this application I would use hide glue. The sinew/hide glue combo are very compatable and the whole combo will shrink, binding the wrap very well. You can add a thin layer of TBIII over the sinew/hide glue for a sealer before you add your bow finish but that isn't necessary.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
