hey Carl,
I had alot of trouble finding artificial sinew as well
at first, but found it at a kobler's shop. He wasn't
in the practice of selling it, but agreed to sell me a
spool(for much more than it was worth I'm sure). The
stuff is great though, nylon and pre-waxed, and I'm
amazed at how much is on what looks like a modest
sized spool. Good luck, Tom
