Sinew Cord: Two Plies of Sinew Reverse-Wrapped
Sinew is extremely strong, holds its own natural glue and shrinks as it dries. Circumpolar peoples used it as their only cordage. Twist wetted sinew threads into two plies and wrap them round each other the opposite way, so the twists lock into a cord.
The picture: string made from whale sinew in Tierra del Fuego, collected in the late 19th century.

Reverse-wrap
Hold the two bundles together at one end. Twist the far bundle away from you, then lay it over the near one toward you. Repeat, so each ply is twisted one way and the pair wraps the other way.

When a ply runs short, lay a new wet thread along its end and keep twisting; the sinew's own glue holds it as it dries.
