Any views please TH ( sorry to be so pushy today)

I bow to TH's superior knowledge on this but I would imagine you can make bow strings out of most materials, they get stronger the more lengths you use to make the string. I mean what did the Saxons use? they didn't have Rayon and all the modern materials we have now, they must have used flax or cotton???
