Bow design choice

[sleek]

The practical guy i am, has decided if i were to do a wrap like that around my bow, it would likely be raw material to make or a finished spare bow string. I doubt it was decorative. Shoot, with tjat wrap design on there,  that may even have been how they measured out how long the string needed to be to make a string for the bow. Like a flemish jig on the bow.
Tjis is just an assumption based on how reliable natural strings are and how often i carried a spare when using them. Wrapping it around the bow makes sense to me.

I've been reading this article: http://www.digitaldigging.net/meare-heath-bow-reconstruction-part-3/

I've thought of a couple of ways to try but thought I would plumb you experts' knowledge before diving in.

I think I would use something lite to wrap,,,, so it would not slow th bow down,,I have never made one, but I think I would try to make the tips bend too, so they would not be as heavy as a stiff tipped bow,, but I am just guessing out loud,,
