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

Ok! Here's the pictures of the other half.

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.
     

[Charlie Lamb]

Continuing the wrap in the same direction you were wind twelve wraps "inside" the loop.
   

[Charlie Lamb]

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.

The finished product should look something like this.
 

These tips can be used when serving any part of the string.

Thanks, Charlie. That's how I serve strings but it is hard to explain without showing - you did great.

Thanks Charlie

Hey Keith, who you callin' "@$$"?    

Since you didn't say "Yankee @$$", I'm guessing it wasn't that tall, skinny SOB with the funny accent. You betcha, eh?

Charlie, great tutorial. It's difficult explaining how to finish a serving, but you nailed it perfectly.

[Charlie Lamb]

Thanks guys!

You know he wasn't talkin about you Jason... I'm sure he meant the other one!  :D

Thanks Charlie, I'm gonna give it a try. Kinda off subject. What kinda hide is that behind the pics? If it's bear it's a pretty one.
