-Tim - The cotton string is a small diameter 4 ply cheapo stuff from the knitting section of wally world. Not very strong stuff so had to be careful to stretch it tight but not break it while wrapping. Coated with tite bond 3 three times to hopefully keep water out.
Just came in from shooting some more arrows in the backyard, typical of the bows I make it is not a speed demon by any stretch
but it is fun to shoot none the less.

Thanks again to all for the compliments, much appreciated.

Outstanding Greg!  I really do admire your bows,  everything about them, especially the bend and the finish.  I think you knocked that hhb out of the park!

Really cool looking bow. As everyone else said the tiller is great and the finish work is what makes it special. Good job.
