Mullberry Stave
« on: March 08, 2011, 09:34:08 am »
I have a chance to get a piece of Mullberry.  2 staves no twist. Is it good bow wood and what should I expect to pay for it?

I have recently seen mulberry staves for 10 bucks on ebay. This may have been the starting bid though.

    Cousin to O'SAGE mulberry makes really good bow used it a good bit. Grab it let it season I don't hurry might wait a year when ever the erge hits me to grab it. You could simi bow form it and and you could built a bow 3 or 5 months qicker if you use a hot box or put it up high in the heat.

I've done a couple short bows with Red mulberry, and thought it was excellent wood to work.
