 This was a video I learned from in the early 90s and I must say I’ve seen other videos but this is by far the best I’ve seen personally .
   My original got chewed up in our VCR years ago and my buddy was given this copy and it shows how to make the string ,make a jig, and correct way to serve a string On a left hand bow and a right hand bow.

I’ll probably need lessons in serving also - have to wait for my server and halo to get here to do that

If I'd have known how to make flemish strings back in the 80's, I'd have never given up bowhunting!!

Back in the 80's, the compound craze was kicking into high gear... There were tons of old recurves around, just no strings for them!! I remember as a kid, seeing all of the plastic tubes with different length strings... Then, as the compound craze picked up speed, they started to disappear. I never new that there was such a thing as a flemish twist string, let alone that you could make your own?

I tried the wheelbow thing for a few years, then gave it up. Got tired of the "latest & greatest" need a new bow every couple years thing... Hung it up untill 1999 when I found out there was this thing called "Traditional" bowhunting.... Whoda Thunkit??? :dunno:
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

Once you make your first string you will wonder why you never learned before. It's one of those projects you can do while watching TV. 
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!
