Yeah, sinew can stretch a lot.  Whatever ya use make sure ya pull it as
tight has you possibly can when binding in the prod.

Here is a good tutorial on the process.

For a good period appearance  try a heavy waxed linen or waxed cotton cord.

Greetings all, I have read about some of the different materials used to
bind the prods but most look to modern to me and I would like it to have a
more period appearance..it doesn't have to be the true period sinew.but what
will work.not stretch and such but still have a "close" appearance?

Thanks 

Lance
