Author Topic: Laminated all Wood bow & matching turkey box call the Ferret Trad Bowhunter Member # 103 posted                        Joe I'm still 50/50 with it on yelps but closer to 75/25 if I keep it well chalked. Tell you what though, it does an awesome purr and cluck! -------------------- There is always someone that knows more than you, and someone that knows less than you, so you can always learn and you can always teach Posts: 12891 | From: Cincinnati, Ohio | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  benzy Trad Bowhunter Member # 5838 posted                     No, I think they say nice things anyway. Did you happen to see the comments on my hickory self bow? I think Mickey hit it on the head, something like "narly mother" but in a nice way. My thought was uglier than a mud fence, and took a little set like the titanic took a little water. keep going on the bow, I can't wait to see finished pics. Rob Posts: 443 | From: Kalamazoo, MI | Registered: Feb 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        Thanks benzy,, I know what ya mean! I got the feeling Mickey did not like my handle. He said "Nice profile on that bow Joe but the handle looks kinda complicated...sorta like a wooden handled compound ha ha albeit a pretty one." I'll bet he could tell you off and you would think he was a great guy. You woudn't even know he told you to get %$#@! He should be a salesman! I did not get to see your hickory self bow post, I will look for though. -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  the Ferret Trad Bowhunter Member # 103 posted                        LOL I "AM" a salesman! Hey, I'm not the one who has the sign off that says "I don't give them hell. I tell the truth and they THINK it's hell!" ha ha..maybe I should steal it -------------------- There is always someone that knows more than you, and someone that knows less than you, so you can always learn and you can always teach Posts: 12891 | From: Cincinnati, Ohio | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  benzy Trad Bowhunter Member # 5838 posted                     I'm sure he liked it, just not his style. You can search for my bow if you want... I'ts not much to look at. A real lumpy stave that I didn't try to straighten. It is my first shooter though. The cool thing is a guy I work with is airbrushing a camo patern over the canvas back, and a jagermeister (spell?) deer head on the belly. I don't think its worth his effort, but I can't wait to see it. I built a form for the type of bow your making last night, and I'll be ripping hickory backing tonight. Thats why I'm so interested in this thread. Your gonna lead me to a sweet lookin / shootin bow! Thanx, Rob Posts: 443 | From: Kalamazoo, MI | Registered: Feb 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        I have always checked a bows tillering on my kitchen floor grid pattern. Did not have room for a tiller station in the shop. This evening, I adjusted the shop and by gosh made room! After finding a burnishing method I could impose on the hickory backing and post some more pic's, I will start the tillering while standing at a distance from this multiple layer wood laminate bow. I was no where near as nervous about bending my first selfbow as I am this one! Mickey I knew it, I knew it, your a salesman! -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        Here is the start of my new tillering station that I made room for in my little shop Could be better. But, it will do for a while. -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  the Ferret Trad Bowhunter Member # 103 posted                        It's DE-LUX compared to mine Joe. Note* rope is too short..you need to get back about 6-8 feet. Also, drill a hole in the middle of a 12" section of broom handle, feed your rope thru and tie and big ol knot. Will make pulling the rope and flexing the limbs MUCH easier 8~) Benzy I like any bow a guy makes with his own hands that flings arrows..both the bow and the bowyer get for desire, effort and persistance! I make lots of lumpy bows...got 3 in the works right now. -------------------- There is always someone that knows more than you, and someone that knows less than you, so you can always learn and you can always teach Posts: 12891 | From: Cincinnati, Ohio | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  benzy Trad Bowhunter Member # 5838 posted                     Mickey, that's pretty much what I figured all along. You actually described it very well! No insult intended, or taken. Now back to our regularly scheduled program... What do you guys think about Wingnuts bulletwood for a project like this instead of osage? Of course it won't be a 70#'er, just a moderate 50 - 55. Do you know if it would take a little r/d? Thanx, Rob Posts: 443 | From: Kalamazoo, MI | Registered: Feb 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        Mickey, as always good sound advice. Thanks for the tips. Benzy, I would like to see pics of your construction in a post when you can! It may be a day or so before I get back to this thread. Reality,,, I am going to have to deal with that a while. -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  benzy Trad Bowhunter Member # 5838 posted                     Osagetree the only thing I took pictures of last night was my 4 year old end her bow. I'm gonna build a tillering board (not stick) tonight, I printed a 3'x6' grid pattern for a backdrop at work. I think it will help with my bows, (actually I just need Mickey to sign me up for the "Ferret School Of Bow Whittlin" summer semester.) I'll shoot some picks of my form and board. Posts: 443 | From: Kalamazoo, MI | Registered: Feb 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        To many run outs! I did not now about the run outs. I thought it did not matter, but after reading some recent posts, I think my work here is going to be in vain.. The wood I bought was sold for backing and it had run outs all over,,, so I thought it would be okay. It said hickory bow backing! What do you think? Can I back the backing? LOL -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  cjones Trad Bowhunter Member # 310 posted                     WoW!! that is alot of runouts on a backing. Might wanna try a silk backing. I'm no expert on backings so you should wait till one of the guru's com along. Very nice looking calls. Gonna have to trade you out of one some day. -------------------- Chad Jones TGMM Family Of The Bow Posts: 4259 | From: West Union, Ohio | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Slimpikins Trad Bowhunter Member # 5667 posted                     the bow is coming along right nicely! im new to the game also, and i am working on a bow similar right now. its nice to let someone be the guinea pig and tell you all the secrets. Posts: 171 | From: Rock Hill, South Carolina | Registered: Feb 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        I went ahead and burnished the hickory backing using a large socket. I am going to go ahead and tiller the bow and take my chances with the run outs! I have the bow on a long string and it is drawn 20",,, pulling wieght is 50lbs. I should get close to target wieght as I still have plenty of wood to remove. Here the bow is just bending on my stick. -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |
