Author Topic: Laminated all Wood bow & matching turkey box call Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        See,,, for several years now, I have made turkey calls of different types. I gave some of them to hunting buddy's and sold a lot of them as well. But, there is that one call that had a special magic to it. Probably because it is made of Osage, walnut and wild cherry. All the wood was cut here in Ohio where I hunt. And, besides I made the call! Anyway's, now that I have the selfbow thing down pretty well, I thought I would try something else this year. The thought was to build a laminated all wood bow to match the turkey call I like so well, you know from the same wood's. Here is a sketch of my idea. Some of the wood is already cut. Look at the pic's and you should be able to make out my idea. -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  ky boy Trad Bowhunter Member # 4701 posted                     i think you ought to make a box call made into the bow , that would be great. can ya do it ?? , ky -------------------- TRADITIONALIST Posts: 488 | From: ky | Registered: Nov 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  the Ferret Trad Bowhunter Member # 103 posted                        I think 1 3/4" is too wide for the materials used. I'd go 1 1/2" at most. Should be pretty. -------------------- 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 |  ky boy Trad Bowhunter Member # 4701 posted                     thats exactly what i was thinkin about slate over a knot hole ! i think it would work , ky -------------------- TRADITIONALIST Posts: 488 | From: ky | Registered: Nov 2004  |  IP: Logged |  DCM Charter Member Member # 107 posted                     He wants 70# (@ 28" I presume) Mickey. Time he gets the glue line cleaned up he'll be 1 5/8". Not far off for that much bow, reckon? Posts: 1316 | From: Memphis, Tn | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  the Ferret Trad Bowhunter Member # 103 posted                        True David..the 70# didn't register with me (it never does above 55# ha h...I just can't imagine that much weight.) Anyhow I was just thinking 1 3/4" for a hick backed osage seemed like a lot of wood, but your right unless he want's THICK limbs he's going to have to spread it out a bit. -------------------- 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 |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        DCM & Ferret, keep on thinking about this. I need all the advice I can get. My Dad always said "Listen to My advice! Wether you take it or not." That is what I plan to do here. I have no experience with laminating wooden bow's, please remember this is new to me and I no nothing except bits and pieces from I've learned from conversations read here at "Tradgang". From there I get my owm idea of how I am going to get it done. I believe some of you may have gotten the idea that a turkey call is some how going to be built into the bow. Wrong! It is intended to match a special box call I made. Both bow and call made of the same wood's, cut local here in Southern, Ohio. Let me just take a pic of the call and that will clear it up,,, maybe! Here is the call The paddle is laminated osage,wildcherry & walnut. One wildcherry sound board and one osage sound board.The blocks are half walnut and half osage and it has a walnut base. If you dont know box calls that may be french to ya! But you should still get the idea. -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  longbowhntr Trad Bowhunter Member # 2455 posted                     Nice looking call!! If it sounds half as well as it looks ... Quick question.. How different are the sounds from the sound boards? Does one have a higher pitch? I've been thinking about trying to make some of those. Just what I need one more thing to make.lol Thanks David Posts: 498 | From: dardanelle, arkansas | Registered: Jan 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        Longbowhntr, This call sounds better than it looks! It called 2 toms in last spring,,, my wife missed the first one and I missed the second one. The osage does have a little higher pitch than the wild cherry. The osage, clucks, purrs and putts great! Maybe because the osage is more dense wood? I made a box call totaly out of osage, but traded it for more wood.It sounded really good! I would like to see a pic of your call if you get a round to it! I plan on posting more on this project so stay tuned. -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  longbowhntr Trad Bowhunter Member # 2455 posted                     Thanks for the info and looking forward to more . David Posts: 498 | From: dardanelle, arkansas | Registered: Jan 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        Okay, this is the form I made today after work. This is my own design if you can't tell. I don't even know if this will work! Frame is made from scrape wood, nails and used tractor tire tubes. Total cost $0.00 It is 62" long with 1 3/4" reflex, holes are drilled to slide nails through to hold the rubber strips, rubber alternating sides 1" apart. The idea is to strech the rubber up and over the bow wood laminates and impale it on the other sharp end of the nail to hold rubber band taught. Thus avoiding a loan for c-clamps Will this work? Is it enough pressure with just the bands? Form is together and tractor tire tube is ready to cut into strips. My shop is small and cold so my form had to be portable! Here is the tractor tire tubes after cutting. Here it is with the rubber bands on. Notice they are in an alternating pattern. Here is a partial test run on the osage that I will be using for the bow. Can you tell I have also recently figured out the "Graemlins" Stay Tuned for more on this project! All comments are welcome and are respected! -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        I can't believe you all have had nothing to say of this contraption. It will probably be Monday before I can glue all this up! -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  cjones Trad Bowhunter Member # 310 posted                     I'm wondering if the bands will be enough pressure? I'm not sure as i haven't mad a lam bow ethier. Very nice looking call. Where in Ohio are ya? -------------------- Chad Jones TGMM Family Of The Bow Posts: 4259 | From: West Union, Ohio | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  DCM Charter Member Member # 107 posted                     Well my momma used to say, if you ain't go nothin nice to say... Not to be critical but I am curious how the impaling will work. I'm hoping it doesn't tear the rubber. I know a wrap will work, and apply plenty of pressure. I've used bands a lot but always wrapped. Rubber has a limited amount of stretch. If you pull it tight to this limit, you'll have a ton of pressure. I cut my bands a smidge more narrow than that (with truck tubes, bike tubes can be wide) for wrapping and it seems to work well. Also, I like my slat to be 1/2" or so thick, 9/16" tops. Looks from here like that one is proud of that some. I think the idea in general is a dandy. Curious to see how the rubbers work.
