Actuallt, 4est is the man on red oak pyramid bows, he builds some beaut's, but  their sure is better way's to get help/advise, than antagonizing folk's
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."
