recurve, longbow (flemish twist/braid, single and double loop) and compound

I make and fit all of the above for myself, club equipment and for others.

my own strings seem far superior to any commercially produced strings (modesty smiley needed) I have seen so far. Most "bought" strings seem poorly finished and lose their servings within a short time.
Like SVL, I also teach others to make all of the above types of string.

Benefits to making your own strings and cables, you know they are well made and you can play with the variables (materials, lengths etc) not to mention the substantial savings in price.
