Great job on that video, Steve. Hopefully you put another one together that shows the actual process of string building!

That is the plan. I am waiting for the string material to show up now. I am wondering what kind of delay I am going to experience now that the post office in Mansfield got flooded. :tantrum:

A little suggestion about making your first felmish bow string. Get a good little buzz going then start making strings so you dont lose your patience. It can be a little frustraiting when you get a string twisted and the thing unwinds when you put it on your bow. I can almost guarantee you the first two you do will be failures or wont hold up to your expectations. Stick with it though and you will figure it out.

Well done Steve!

Is that level a Crick, or maybe a Smith?

 

[Hoytmania]

Got my string material today in the mail. I think I will be trying my first string tomorrow night.

Yes it is. Through all my research that is pretty much the standard.
