Ok, so I have a string which is twisted to the right length for my bow but with far too many twists in it; I want to copy it but I want to make it with a sensible number of twists in it.
I'll put it on my jig twisted then extend the jig a bit to allow for twisting.
My question is: how much extra length do people recommend so that I end up with a sensible number of twists in my string?
I ask because of my huge collection of strings that are a little too short or long to use on any of my bows; making a string of the correct length just isn't something that I seem able to master :hissyfit:
