Well lets see know out of the forty some years I have been making bows, I only began to try the Tillering tree and tillering stick about 15 years ago so I suppose I can do without if you want me to !
I tried to put a mirror in the bathroom 35 yrs ago put broke several so I guess I may never know if I can do one in a mirror or not !
I like doing bows with only stone but it is hard to come by good stones so I use my hatchet o well maybe one day you will find someone that lives up to your expectations or maybe not !
Till then I recon you will have to settle for the rest of us old codgers !
And Dell it wood be heap many squalls on this side of big water !
Have fun !!
