Post by: offthegrid on November 09, 2010, 03:08:29 pm

what kind of strings are good for what kind of bows. I have built a flat bow (red oak with cherry backing) and I'm not sure what to use.

It all depends in ur choice I like to make strings for my native indian bows look as relistic as possible so I use the old faithful and synthetic sinew..Awesome stuff or then there is B-50 ther are also other types of materials to use natural as well like hemp, flax, any fiborous plants like that.
