Just type in "serving a bowstring" on youtube.  Looks like quite a few vids.  You can either use a serving tool or just hand wrap.  Not much to it.

Y, check out the How-to Sec. on here!

Rob D. has a vid building an endless string, and there's a "Whole" lot of serving going on!

The foundation of an endless string, is serving!

if you are going to learn to serve a string and purchase the material you might as well go all in and learn to make the whole string. Its not hard, I still buy mine because they are cheap but it its comforting to know that in a pinch I can whip one up myself and save the hunt.
