Gday Aggie
for my twisted cores i just cut a 1 inch strip with a straight edge and stanley knife then twist &stretch ,THIS COMES FROM THE BACK ,I split it to the thinnest that the hide is , just to make it all the same ,, with my plaited cores ,,, depending on what i want, i will cut 4 strings stretch ,bevell resize then split with my beveler/ resizer tool, they seem to come out very even and round with the 4 plait , with the 1inch strip i still split it but i will have to do a bit of sanding to get it even ,(you can buy this tool at any hardware store for stuff all )
Sorry i hav'nt had a chat for awhile but hopefully i will get back in to the swing of things soon
Cheers mate
