I've been thinking about getting some qiviut and making silencers like the ones I've bought from "C"-land... This trick may actually be a better option with a a qiviut blend...

Nice pics and well explained. I have used my flemish string jig to hold my string much like your clamps and jigs. Thanks AP [thumbsup]

I wish I had seen this before the first time I did it. Makes it seem almost effortless with the pics and the explinations.

This would be a good thread in the tutorials!!!(If not one already.)

It's hard to believe this thread is still going strong! I'm glad some folks have found this useful. I have had great results with bow hush and hush puppies as well, but some folks just like to do it themselves.

For those who don't want to make their own I would recommend visiting Centaur's site. Jim sells a string silencer called the "Navajo". These are sheep wool silencers that have a lot of the natural linolen still in the wool. They work great!
