Title: Build along for making a bow string?
Post by: BigWapiti on January 20, 2008, 05:11:21 pm

I did a few search attempts using different terms, but came up short.  Has there been any build alongs for making your own bow strings?  I'd like to try - using purchased material to start, but would very much be interested in using natural materials later.  If no build alongs, is there a good published tutorial for string building that you might recommend?  thx.
