A friendly member at our archery showed me a neat way of bringing the ends of the served section together to close the loop. He used a 'figure of eight' method rather than leaving one side of the loop serving shorter and continuous winding. He made the serving so both ends were equally aligned when the jig posts were turned to close the loop. He then made 10 turns of the serving thread. BUT. He went between the two sets of string threads, under one set of string threads then back up through the centre and over the other set of string threads then back under the first string threads again. He repeated this until he had 10 turns of serving thread binding the two sets of string threads. It gives a really neat flat finish to the loop join. He the finished the rest of the serving in the usual manner.
Give it a go. It's harder to describe than to do!
Hope it helps.
