If you're going to make your own bows you need a tillering cord. This one is a full 76", 18 strand tillering cord with a nylon serving wrapped upper loop. The nylon wrapping protects the main body of the string from limb abrasion for a long cord life. To use, simply slide the loop over your upper bow limb and tie a bowyers' knot (timber hitch) on the lower limb. Tillering cords are a must have for bow building. Note: This item is a tillering aid and is not to be used for shooting your bow!

Not the best choice
I bought this because it was cheaper than the other options for tillering strings at 3Rivers and I discovered that was a mistake. I waxed the string multiple times but it would not a timberhitch. Eventually I replaced this with a piece of paracord and things went much better from there. Going to try the flemish twist fast flight tillering string. I would not recommend this product.
Tillering cord does the job
Good for its intended use. Keep it waxed.
Don't waste your time!
This is cord won't hold a timber hitch AT ALL! don't waste your time and look at one of the others. If it could get a lower rating than one star it would.
Its alright
It does its job, however after tillering one bow, it began to break down, I rewaxed it and it still just became a bunch of strands, the bow that was tillered is amazing, red oak 55# at 28 inches, its good for one use, dont be cheap, spend the extra two dollars for the next one up.
Does the Job
This Cord is O.K. As the previous review states, it does come apart without wax which can get frustrating, but overall it does the job.
Like It-keep waxed or it unravels on you
Great cord, just need to keep it waxed or it unravels - I like it.
Just make it snug then you use a tillering board.
The B-50 tillering cord would be a great for a beginner.
