So i am a new Bowyer, and i am at the tillering stage of building my first English long bow. i used maple with a walnut handle. i have been having trouble getting the Dacron b50 that I've been reading about and had heard that you can use Dacron fishing line (which i have a lot of being an active fisherman). so i have an abundant supply of that, but zero knowledge of what do do next...
Ive made a string jig. but now what? how many strands of this stuff should i use?
My bow is 68" long so how long should my string be?
I'm lost.
ANY info coinciding with tillering/ short string and Dacron fishing line would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance.
