This is amazing. I have used another method that doesn't involve spinning cordage but wraps a looser bundle soaked with plenty of glue, almost like wrapping with papier-mâché or a plaster cast, and found that it required finesse I did not manage well. Never having spun anything or made any cordage in my life, I got your method right the first time and it came out beautifully. Nice clean snap of the arrow nocking on, too. Thank you.
Well, I got it from my sensei, so in a way, we both need to thank him ;) . I'm glad it turned out nice for you, it's not very difficult once you start doing it.
Thank you for this. You mention that your nocking point is about 8 mm above the Nigiri. Can you explain (to a newbie) why it's 8 mm, and how I determine the ideal nocking point on my bow? Thanks.
Hi! Thank you very much for sharing! jeje I was wondering... for lighter yumi (~15kg) is the normal nakajikake good enough (you know, with glue and flat fibers)? Or would you recommend this as well and why? Thank you again ^^
...cut a spent tsuru...? That's a very good reuse of old materials, would like to learn your instructions

The paper-mache method isn't durable I find...
