String making

(1/4) > >>

SjWhite:
Hello all,

I'm new to making bows, and I do not know how to make a good quality string.

I would be very greatful if you would tell me what you do, or if you just buy yours online.

Thank You for your time.

SailorDad has the best link if you don't care for U-tube (which I don't)...I had never made strings before and built that jig a few days ago...followed the tutorial of that site and now have about 14 new strings made up.  I did them one after another, some for kids bows some for my bows and they all turned out great.  Good luck and just jump in...not sure why I was so reluctant to try and learn, it really is easier than it looks.

Polar Bear:
Ditto on poorfolksbows.  I have them bookmarked. 

Josh:
that's how I learned!  For the price of ONE string you can buy a roll of string making material to make 10-15 strings of your own.
