String Building
The core of what Axial teaches. Building a bowstring is a sequence — each stage sets up the next, and shortcuts anywhere in the process show up as creep, peep rotation, or peaking noise months later. These articles walk the process end to end, in order, the way it should be done at the bench.
The process, in order
Equipment & jigs — what you need at the bench
Layout & length planning — starting length, post-twist length, pre-serve length
Strand equalization — the light pull that makes the bundle honest
Twisting — one twist per inch, measured to a real target length
Tensioning & burnishing — where the bundle actually stabilizes
Serving — end loops, center serving, and the peep-strand question
Stretching — the final 300-pound hold
