According to the "Tennis Warehouse" (commercial) website (refer to the link, below), "natural gut" is made predominantly from cow intenstines, though sheep intestines were used early on. Since natural gut is very expensive, most players use strings made from artificial materials, such as nylon and other composite materials. Regardless of the source, the process to make strings is basically the same: The material is formed into a single strand via extrusion under heat and pressure, until it meets the requirements of the manufacturer for temperature, tension or torsion, density, gauge (thickness), etc. The string may be colored or left as is (i.e., "natural"). The manufacture will also stamp or laser imprint information about the string on the string itself; often it is so small, that most people aren't aware that it's there. The strands may be cut and packaged into "sets" (i.e., individual packets to string a single racquet, usually 40 feet in length) or "reels" (i.e., a single strand many yards in length which is meant to be cut for individual racquets, usually by a professional stringer).
