Thanks Pat.
Where can I get a good tillering string, with the heavy trangular nylon pockets, as are on one end of my LB stringer?? Don't want to buy two stringers if I don't have to.

Pete, I use parachute cord with a slip knot on each end for a tiller string. I cut temporary nocks in the stave as soon as I get 6" to 8" of tip movement. Once I get to low brace, I can string the bow by hand...usually! ::) ;D

I'm the same as Pat-use paracord or clothesline rope for a tillering string.

I got a tiller string of B50 that Big A helped me make at the 11th Classic. Its Really long.

I use all my old bow strings as tillering strings. I have a peg I stick them on next to my tillering tree. Since I have made so many different sized bows now, one bow's regular string becomes the long string for tillering a shorter bow. I just go through them till I find the right one for tillering that particular bow. :)

It takes a long for your bows Cracker, ;) ;D ;D I also use a tiller string,loop on one end and tie a bowyers knot on the other to adjust the length. I usuallyuse it all the way through the short string and shoot in,sometimes serve it and that's my bow string,Lazy. ;) :)

I do as Pappy does, but i have a stringer with the leather pouches on it. I use that for the long string.

I use sash cord from the hardware store. I just make a double knot. I cut nocks right after floor tillering. Jawge
