Second loop for a flemish string
« on: April 10, 2015, 09:58:31 pm »
Hello all,
I've made a couple of strings for my bows but I'm always leery of my second loop.  I can't figure out how to make it as smooth or tight as the first.  Can any one help? Maybe a couple of pictures showing how to finish one or a youtube video that you have seen.  Thanks in advance.
