I make a flemish twist, with no use of a jig. It's pretty quick and easy. Never have tried to make an endless loop though, guess I should give one or two a go, just for the experience of it.

I like both, but i tend to go f t for the colors plus the adjustment capability, and i just dont like the extra serving  ::)
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

Osage,

                 Cool jig, but how do you serve the ends with the strings so close together?? I am refering to you FIRST end loop servings..

I have a 5" or so cut off from a bamboo arrow with grooves cut into each end that I put inbetween the two sides to do the first servings.  It spaces the string out enough to easily serve it.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Flemish twist for me. Its kind of theraputic to play with it and end up with a good string. The colour combinations are fun too.

Its OK to make a mistake. Just try not to make the same one twice...........

 Flemish for me too ...  can make one across my knee,  and the best thing is I can easily reinforce the nocking area with extra strands... That’s where most of my wear occurs ...  plus the colors ..  8)
