Billy, a viewer of mine, sent me a load of retted flax. With the able help of my friend Mark, I make an authentic flax (linen) bowstring for my longbow. How well did it turn out? Er... well, watch and see!
Correction: while chatting, I say that the reed boat that crossed the Pacific was called the Kon-Tiki. The Kon-Tiki was a different boat also sailed by Thor Heyerdahl, which voyaged in the Pacific. The Atlantic voyage was made in the "Ra II'.
