I'm glad to see this. There are many thoughts on mulberry sapwood. Some have had good luck, others haven't. I am anxious to watch this one born. Justin

ok maybe its my eyes playing tricks one me but i have to ask

did that stave have some character to it when ya started?
looks like you laid out the bow straight and didnt follow the longitudial grain.
like i said it could just be my eyes,just curious
cant wait for the finished product

Wow! That's one choice stave you have there. What draw length you looking for?

justin .. thanks read in tbb3 i think it was that sapwood could be used on mulberry . hope so
sailor .. i laid center line and finished my layout from there , i think it is the angle of the stave in the vice you see it was cocked sideways so the reflex shows (least i hope i didnt goof)
gmc .. i shoot 28 in draw ,and i dont mind a long bow so i'd rather be safe than bruised , when i gain experience ill go shorter !
           thanks for the responses i'd like to hear more

I've made mulberry bows with and without sapwood. All worked well. With sapwood the bow will be thicker than without.

At that draw length Mulberry will allow some wiggle room if needed to shorten. Its a fine wood and don't worry about using sap wood, its all good. Can't wait to see the final pictures, you doing great.

No, you didn't follow the longitudinal grain. You went left in the foreground when it went right. Why are you using the sapwood? Jawge
