Hi all,
Recently got into making bowstrings and its a slow work in progress. My biggest issue now is figuring out how tight my servings should be applied. I have seen some guys online say that you should be able to spin the serving jig around the string without the string twisting at all... pretty loose. I have also seen some folks say that you should camp the string to prevent twisting and serve it very tight. Hoping to get some input from the more experienced string builders out there
Thanks in advance
