You'll never guess what I did tonight?
Not that you sicko!!!!!!
I twisted a....gasp...FLEMISH STRING!!!
I decided that if I was going to goof around with making wood bows again I might as well learn how to make "the devil's strings". So I found a web site that had instructions and plans for a jig.
The first one took me about an hour or so to make because I had to keep untwisting the second loop to adjust the countertwists in the bundles so it didn't look like two twisted ropes.
Black & brown and bracing my 55" Root Brush-Master recurve. Round as a pipe and slick as snot. I can't even get endless strings that round. Hell if I ain't proud.
I'll have to order some tan & white Dacron to go with my black. Gotta make some three bundle "beagle strings" you know. As cheap as B50 is, I can afford to get creative. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
I'll still use endless Dyna strings for the new recurves though. At $27.00 or so a spool I'm not going to make two or three color strings them.
