Buffalo (bison) backstrap sinew, deer backstrap sinew, and Ashe juniper (Juniperus ashei) bark fibers.  

Weather is about 55F with light drizzle.

The lighting is a combination of firelight and a 60 watt halogen, soft white bulb about 3 feet away.  The camera is a Zi10 (Kodak Play Touch) attached to a homemade boom. A stereo microphone is plugged into the camera and dangling from the boom.

Backstrap or "loin" sinew has dried for several months.  Juniper bark dried for about two weeks but remains damp due to wet weather/high humidity.

Special thanks to Kurt from MontanaBarNone!!
