I have been PMd as how too do this so I will share the method. I made a new Lim fo the bow from Ash,
I selected a 6 ply linen thread to do the binding approx 25m long
You need to cut a length of to form a loop this will be used to pull the end of the thread back through the binding,
Start the binding of by leaving a piece of thread up the length of the object to bind and start to wind round and on top of the loose piece of thread, it is better if you wind the twine around a stick to help pull it tight,
Once you have started after a few turns you can add the loop keep the tails at the bottom and the loop to the top for when you finish wrapping. Make sure you have plenty spare twine for the tails and the loop,
When you finish the wrapping cut off and put through the loop with enough to hold on too to keep the tension,
Pull on the tails until the twine starts going under the binding and pull through until the end comes through where you started the loop of twine from,
I repeated the process until I had a good strong coverage, and this is the result it was then sealed with lacquer
But this is what it can be used for scabbard slides and anything that needs a good tight binding,
I hope you can follow this how too with photos is of help
Are yes Fabricivs we got a very good soaking the last time at Sedgefield so hope the Gods will shine down on us this time
