Certainly a new and interesting method. I use two string nocks, tied on but will try this on at least one of my bow strings, as I think I would really like it. I would like to see one final picture of the string with the wrap above on it also, if possible (but guess I can see it on my own, come to think of it). This tutorial should definitely be saved in the How To's also IMO

I dunno Charlie, nock points, servings..all seems kinda "high tech" to me. But if I went for all that stuff, I think I'd have to at least give your method a try.
Nice job on the tutorial

oh sure - I had to try the Lamb nock. I got my finger glued to the dang string, then I accidently whipped it in place. I got kinda of messy when i cut my finger off to clean up the nocking point. I may go with the naked nock like Ferret from now on

Thanks Charlie, I am pretty new to this so any lesson that I can use is great. I don't like the brass ones either. I would also like to see this saved in the how to forum.

Thank you Mr. Lamb...I've use a similar deal without the superglue, I'm definately going with the super glue, stop burning a hole in my thumb when I burn the ends

Great, Charlie (don't forget the other pic - just to tie it all together.)

Leaving enough space for your nock of choice start wrapping your serving thread up the string. When you've laid on enough to protect your top finger, pull out a length of serving thread and continuing in the same wrapping direction form a loop.

pull the serving jig toward the nocking point and secure it out of the way.
Now grabbing the serving material loop, wrap it over the end you just pulled out of the way for as many wraps as you made in the loop.
This will leave the "loop" at the very end of the serving. From the serving jig end of the thread, pull until the loop disappears under the serving and snug it up tight.
