The long tillering string (it's seven feet long without the timber hitch) is twenty strands of B50. It stretches pretty bud, but it's been decent enough to tiller anything below a hundred pounds (my one ash warbow was a real pain- I eventually broke it, possibly because I didn't have a means to tiller it properly and partially because I attempted a warbow waaaaaaayyyyy too early ::) ), and my skinny strings are very low count FF+ with B50 to build up the loop and hitch, double serving to keep my fingers intact.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Huisme is an interestig name and I am not sure if it has a special meaning but after re reading this build along I think BLwizard is fairly appropriate! :D.

Haha, I try to do this stuff justice since it's all the high performance wood I've got. I promise it's the wood that's magic, not me ;)
