flax twine

(1/3) > >>

skyarrow:
ok what do i need to do to turn flax twine into a bow string

NTD:
I'd check the breaking strength and then make it like you'd do any other string just adjust the amount of strands for the strength of your particular twine.

Pat B:
Raw flax is very strong!      Like Nate said...just like making any other string.

netman:
Guys. I got some flax twine from HF and built 2 bow strings. They seem to keep stretching quite a lot. I have to twist them up often. Is this normal?

El Destructo:
Yep...that is normal....flax stretches quite a bit more than most materials..need to make the string and hang a weight from it to prestretch it
