I use a very long flemish twisted string with about 16 or so plies of B50. I have a loop on one end and make timber hitches for the other.

sam harper has a decent string build along. i also use a flemish loop on one end and a timber hitch on the other. remember its adjustable so don't tie it too long when tillering. its harder to see flaws with a really long string. should hang down an inch or two.

For the long string I use sash cord. For tillering I use old bow strings. Jawge
