I believe Pip Bickerstaffe sells them... Bickerstaffe Bows Website

There's also a place on e-bay that sells nice flemish strings in different colours here... eBay UK Shop - Farrarchers: 4 Sheild Feathers, 3 Sheild Feathers, Shooting Gloves

Hope this helps?

I have been thinking about trying to make one since my new longbow already has one.

I bought a jig and instructions from a retailer on ebay (not expensive) but I gave it away to a longbow pal when I stopped trad shooting, if you're interested I'll see if I can find the seller id

We have a junior at our club who wants to make his own Flemish Twist strings.
I have looked around some websites, to see if I can learn how, in the hopes that I can pass on the technique to him. So far the sites I have viewed are not clear enough for me to follow all that is required. DOes anyone know of a good site, for a beginner to use?
Thanks.

I use Mr Bickerstaffe's strings and have had no problems with them. His advice is a new string once per year (although I'm not sure how many arrows that equates to), even at that rate it only works out at £1 per month. Only making them that often I'm not sure I would remember the technique...
