Title: Flemish String video
Post by: recurvericky on January 21, 2010, 08:54:00 PM
I have been searching for a video on making Flemish Strings, but I have not been able to locate one. I have found written instrucions, was hoping for a video. Also what is the best string material for Flemish Strings.

B-50 for string material. Go to Three Rivers.com, do a search for making strings. They have a video there also.

go to you tube and type in "string video 28" or follow this link:

this gent shows you how to do it with your hands and some wax. I made one in 20 minutes last night following this video. No jigs or other un needed things. B50 string is the stuff of choice. When you are done and need to serve the string look at this video:

you can wind the serving by hand as well. It just takes some time.
Have fun!
