Jute or hemp twine works too. If you are at Brewing on Saturday, I will show you.<BR>

What <BR>> Bart uses in the article is the Handy Hundred polyester braid. See <BR>> http://www.rwrope.com/knot_tyers/twine_cord.htm<BR>> <BR>> That same page has waxed whipping twine which is another good thing to <BR>> use. Also sometimes called waxed sail twine or waxed marine twine. <BR>> It's a poly twine. Any suitably heavy poly twine should work well. <BR>> Some prefer waxed twine as it has a tendency to "lock" in better.<BR>> <BR>> JP uses waxed telco lacing twine which is another strong waxed poly twine.<BR>> <BR>> Or go to your local Tandy Leather factory store and get some <BR>> appropriately heavy waxed stitching/twine/cord made from poly.<BR>> <BR>> Remember nylon stretches. Poly usually has near zero stretch.<BR>> <BR>> -EA<BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Ansteorra-archery mailing list<BR>> Ansteorra-archery@lists.ansteorra.org<BR>> http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/ansteorra-archery-ansteorra.org<BR><BR><br /><hr />Your PC, mobile phone, and online services work together like never before. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/108587394/direct/01/' target='_new'>See how Windows® fits your life</a></body>
