"Not Wide" Red Oak Board Bow Not for BOM
Selfbowman:
Looks great Jawge.
George Tsoukalas:
Thanks, Arvin. Jawge
George Tsoukalas:
I finally got around serving the string.
In this photo, you can see how I poke the serving string through the Flemish. Keeps it tight.
I am right handled and I serve clockwise. The same direction as my release. It may not make a difference but it may and I've always done it that way.
I don't use a serving tool. I put the serving on by hand. I recommend using a serving tool. LOL.

George Tsoukalas:
I serve it really tight. I push and pull to make it so.
At the top , I give it a few half hitches.
Then, I tie the finishing knot for the serving.
Explaining that is hard.
Tim Baker did it it in one of the TBB's and I can find the reference if anyone is interested.
Only experienced and accomplished bowyers I do thank them, have been commenting recently so I am not sure if beginners have hung in there and the reference may not be needed.
Photo shows the finished serving.

I’ve been checking in on occasion, but have been more reading than commenting. I really enjoy following, as I’ve never made a board bow. I do refer to your site on occasion for advice also. It’s good that everyone is so willing to share your knowledge so freely. Thank You
