Where to buy QUALITY sinew in Australia?

Where to source materials etc. Also the place to show off your new bow or quiver etc.... Making things belongs in Traditional Crafts.

Where to buy QUALITY sinew in Australia?

Hello, Just wondering if there is a leather/other supplier who sells sinew inside Australia. have been cautioned against using dog chew sinew - fan drying = weakened sinew. Preferably for backing bows.
Cheers, Joe.

Hey Joe
Asian butchers are a good source, most of them usually sell ox tendons. I even have one near me that sells deer leg tendons but my oh my they are expensive! $30 a kilo whereas the ox tendons are $7 a kilo
