Thanks again I really didn't expect such positive feedback, I really appreciate that. It tells me I'm on the right way
Simons,
I didn't cut through the back, it's an additional growthring, you cannot see well because the tip of the rawhide overlays it. Take a look again at the sideview of the nock. And, yes, Dacron doesn't make me happy to. I have some linen which makes good strings but I use it economical, I'm not sure if I ll get it again - normally it's used for bookbinding (Buchbindergarn). Any suggestions for stringmaterial which isn't that expensive as FF?
yep you are right I live in the alps. I live in Maishofen, close to Zell am See, Salzburg, Austria. So I can probably throw a bottle of Stiegl Beer in your garden , just kidding!

Simson, I Will go for452X ang give it a try! thanks for that! Maybe I'm gonna need help for making doubled servings and padded ears.

And I wanted to make her shorter but I put everything on the secure side and left it as long as it was. I should have made some fotos of the little holes, before I wrapped it with linen yarn.
Thanks again for suggestions and criticism.

Now it's time, to put away the tools. We are heading to Slovenia for some family camping adventures Does anybody know about Parcours around soca valley? I'm wondering to take the family bows with us....mhm

Ja, hallo Nachbar!
Let me know if you need help. I will continue my article about strings in some weeks or so, just now little time - we have a huge garden and it's harvest time.

Hey Martin, you do very nice bows. And yes, since I read about strings on Simson's page some time ago I also use the B452x - it feels good to have racing-strings   
Cheers from another place in the alps, Simon

[By the way: I also need help for making doubled servings and padded ears. Can somebody share the secret on how to do them without a string board...basically I'd know how to, but I don't no how to get the length correct...]
