Yes I did, but I think they are safe.  

How much serving do you need to get a couple strings made to see if you like it?  

I've never paid any attention to how much it takes to build a string.

Trap - Boy, I don't know how much serving it takes to build a string either. I've usually got a few rolls around and just use it... I'd think 20 feet should build a couple of strings. At least one for sure, which is fine. What color did you start with before you dyed it?

Cody - If I get a chance tomorrow, I will take a photograph of my bowstring cache that you will not believe..

Now Wade,

I seem to recall asking you a similar question and your reply was "I've probably told you too much already"

Trap - I'm guessing you are talking about the feather rests.

Hey you are the one who suggested I cut up the Bear Turkey Pointers. I was just going along with you for the joke. Wouldn't be any fun if I can't tease you back...

Thanks fellas,

Bob and Wade, I started with brown nylon serving and added 3 parts red to 1 part royal blue rit dye in really hot water to come up with the burgandy color serving.  1/2 cup of white vinegar helps "set" the dye.  I let the serving soak overnight in the solution and in the morning rinsed with cold water until the rinse water ran clear.

Thanks Bob, Bjorn was nice enough to part with that old chunk of leather.  I'm happy to own it.
