I have attempted to make sense of a couple of articles on this subject that I downloaded from the web, but, as ever, essential steps seem to be left to the imagination or your own (miss?)interpretation.
The Flemish splice is very strong and - so it is said - simple to do, but very difficult to explain. Does anyone know better? Being of somewhat advanced age (past 70) I don't cotton on too quickly to "jargon" so a well illustrated technique would be most helpful so I can try out this method of forming loops in a bow string. I mostly shoot HT, but every now and then I have the chance to shoot longbow and the Flemish splice is strongly favoured by archers shooting this type of traditional bow.
