Strings

[Tartar Horde]

Here's a video of how to make a Flemish twist string suitable for recurves and longbows/flatbows. Although you will see a lot of people using a string jig it is not neccessary. This is the same sort of string used back in the day, and uses nothing but friction to hold it together, plus a liberal coating of beeswax. The same twisting technique can be used to make cordage from nettles etc.
