Success, The string came out fairly good and I know the next one can be better, with the experience I gained on this one. It works good on a 45# bow and is not very thick, I don't know how to judge how thick they need to be for the bow, but do know that an over built string slows the arrow the same as an over built bow. Any way it feels great to know I can make primitive arrows and strings, now for a truly primitive bow, and harvest. Kenneth
