What a great day in Ontario

Thanks for the info and pics, I need to get out in the woods more often than I have been lately, just so busy with work and kids school.

Doc, I have been told that I have a pornographic memory....

Here is a shot of my wife, she is not much to look at, but "I was made to go with the girl, just like a saxophone was made to go with the night"

Hey Riley,

I don't know how you're doing your splices, but, I don't like most types of splices. As I'm cording and I notice one side is getting just a little bit smaller, I add in just a little bit of cordage by laying the new material along the side that needs to be spliced with an extra bit sticking out (laying across the 'Y' - you can see it in the picture.

I, then continue on with the cording. The benefit of doing it this way is that there really is no one place in the finished cord that's significantly weaker than another, because it really is one continuous splice. Also, there's no big lump where a whole whack of fibres have been added. This may not be important in some applications, but it sure would be ugly as hell in a bow string.

If you have a problem with this, email me, you have the address, and I can either find some pictures for you, or make some.
