Marc St Louis:
You can make a string quite easily. I make a modified version of a flemish string that takes less than 10 minutes to make using linen. you can get good quality linen at pyrosupplies, the unbleached 6 strand is the best.

Minuteman:
Wally world aka Wal-mart, stuffmart, you know the "decline and fall of the American economy" store! >:(
 Linen makes a good quiet bowstring if you are gonna make selfnocks . I've gone to B-50 since my elbows and hands have been giving me fits so I can use a regular nock. Can't handle all the fine motor skills stuff anymore. :'(
