Yes, great idea. I will use them on my new design feather rest when the patent is granted...

I know better, you won't cut those up.

Trap

Wade Phillips · April 01, 2009, 10:29:00 PM

Trap - You are the one who suggested cutting them up...

Yes I did, but I think they are safe.

How much serving do you need to get a couple strings made to see if you like it?

I've never paid any attention to how much it takes to build a string.

Wade Phillips · April 02, 2009, 12:01:00 AM

Trap - Boy, I don't know how much serving it takes to build a string either. I've usually got a few rolls around and just use it... I'd think 20 feet should build a couple of strings. At least one for sure, which is fine. What color did you start with before you dyed it?

Cody - If I get a chance tomorrow, I will take a photograph of my bowstring cache that you will not believe..

Ok wade sounds great.. Guys this is the only one of these bear bowstring tubs I have

Here is a pic of the 1959 bear gizz that Bjorn sent me to shoot this up coming fall.. I think this bowstring is B-50 I would like to get some more made for it...

Now Wade,

I seem to recall asking you a similar question and your reply was "I've probably told you too much already"

Trap

Wade Phillips · April 02, 2009, 09:09:00 AM

Trap - I'm guessing you are talking about the feather rests.

Hey you are the one who suggested I cut up the Bear Turkey Pointers. I was just going along with you for the joke. Wouldn't be any fun if I can't tease you back...

d. ward · April 02, 2009, 09:23:00 AM

Hey you two this ai'nt no joke a couple years ago just before elk season.I was going to fletch up some new arrows.Yeah I know you know where this one's headed.I opened 3 of my packages and used them.You can replace them with new feather but it just ai'nt the same.bowdoc

Tom I. · April 02, 2009, 09:58:00 AM

Yeah,Don, but think of the mojo those arrows must have had...

Nice quiver Trap!!

TRAP · April 03, 2009, 08:06:00 AM

Thanks fellas,

Bob and Wade, I started with brown nylon serving and added 3 parts red to 1 part royal blue rit dye in really hot water to come up with the burgandy color serving. 1/2 cup of white vinegar helps "set" the dye. I let the serving soak overnight in the solution and in the morning rinsed with cold water until the rinse water ran clear.

BobT · April 03, 2009, 10:21:00 AM

Good job Trap! Really nice quiver too!

TRAP · April 03, 2009, 10:34:00 AM

Thanks Bob, Bjorn was nice enough to part with that old chunk of leather. I'm happy to own it.
