Tillering Help - yew sapling

You're right you know. I don't know why I settled on Flemish strings. All that twisting is hard on my hands and for no advantage. Maybe I'll switch.

The other advantage is the loops are served and thus harder wearing.

But the jig is bigger than the Flemish jig

I find continuous loop string noisier so I will continue making flemish.  Other thing I dont bother measuring string length when I make a string and dont even bother with the shorter strings during the process,  If I have a 64" longbow I make it 3" shorter, adjust the last Loop to get my length.  Then I cut off the excess with the scissors.  I'm wasting maybe 35" of string .  I use 14  strands.

...and you still have to add the serving. Which is worst, twisting or wrapping?

+1 on DC's post. 
Not sure what kind of jig you are using, but you can adjust the length of string that you wrap over for the loop and dial it in that way.  So if measuring 8" from the end and your string is coming out too long, try 8.25" on your next one.  Like has been mentioned, there's some trial and error, but you should be able to get real close after making a few.  Keep notes on what you try. 
And those ones that don't come out right, you can keep them for tillering strings.  I have about 10 or so at various lengths to use for tillering.

Lol looking at your setup it makes me think it’s in my back yard. Mine is on my fence just like that. Good looking bow.

  I have mu jig marked for different string material. 10 strands fast flight comes out 1" shorter than length marked on jig. Linen I use the marks for the bow length and the string comes out 3" shorter.
