Bowstring Thread and Serving Thread for Building Your Own Strings

If you build or service your own bowstrings, you need the right thread. In this category you'll find string-building material for winding complete bowstrings, as well as serving thread for centre serving, end servings, and wrapped nocking points. For a full breakdown of string materials, strand counts, and string types, head over to our main bowstrings category.

String Thread: The Foundation of Every Handmade Bowstring

Building your own strings gives you full control over material, strand count, and length. That matters most to serious archers who want to know their equipment inside out and tune every detail to their setup. Most bowstrings are built with 16, 18, or 20 strands, depending on the bow's draw weight and the material used. Thread should be as thin and light as possible, because every gram on the string absorbs energy that would otherwise go to the arrow.

Common string materials include Fastflight (Spectra) and Dyneema, both of which have very low stretch and transfer energy to the arrow efficiently. Dacron stretches more and is best suited for wooden bows that cannot handle high-performance materials. When waxing strings that contain Dyneema, avoid too much friction heat, as the material begins to soften at around 70 degrees Celsius.

Serving Thread: Centre Serving, End Serving, and Wrapped Nocking Points

Serving thread covers several jobs in bowstring work. The centre serving protects the string exactly where it strikes the arm guard at every shot. That kind of lateral stress is particularly damaging to string fibres, which handle high tensile loads well but are sensitive to sideways force. A neatly applied centre serving extends string life considerably.

End servings protect the loops at the limb tips from abrasion. Some archers leave the end servings off to save weight, but for most the benefits in protection and stability outweigh the minimal weight difference.

Serving thread can also be used to wind nocking points directly onto the string. A wrapped nocking point is lighter than a brass nock ring and puts less stress on the string, but takes a bit of practice to apply and is harder to reposition than a clamped ring. For archers who have settled on their setup and rarely need to adjust the nocking point, the wrapped version is a clean and reliable option.

Who Benefits from Building Their Own Strings?

Making your own strings is not just for high-level competitive archers. Anyone who shoots a bow that standard strings don't fit well, or who simply wants to understand their equipment more deeply, will find good use for a solid stock of string and serving thread. Browse our range at your own pace, and if you're not sure which material fits your setup, our team is happy to help.
