In order to be ready for the next time I get home, we decided to have her string made and ready to go.  Now Moyra is quite accomplished at making cordage, but this is her first actual bowstring.  We used fast flight and made a single loop Flemish string.  Again, I provided instructions, she provided all the labor.  I snapped a few of her as she worked.  Josh

Her hands move so quick that it's hard to get a clear pic.  Here she is pulling out a few strands at a time to make a nice tapered bundle on her string.  And here is the end result...a perfect tapered bundle single loop Flemish twist string.  All that is needed to finish this string is serving.  Thanks for following along so far.  We'll get back on it as soon as I get back home again.  Josh
