Osage or Mulberry?

[Blaflair2]

I say osage, mulberry reminds me of an osage / black licust color. Real dull.

ive only worked mullberry once but there was a noticable difference in texture compared to osage.  thats just my one cent

Looks like osage to me Clint. However, since they are in the same family I wonder if osage like that is a cross-breed?

Clint, not sure if you remember the short knot filled Osage bow I was working on at Marshall but, it was really light colored. That was really tough stuff.

Mulberry Outlaw doesn't sound good to me neither Jon    I think I'll stick with the double O

Cody, I don't know if they could crossbreed either.  That is an interesting thought. 

Ryan, I remember that bow.  Looked like a challenging project.

Bill, I might just do that one of these days   


I never got time to split it and test it today.  Other more important jobs kept popping up.

They can't cross, although they are the same family, moracea, hedge is from the genus Maclura, mulberry is Morus

thats why you sent it to me, your old arms couldnt work wood that hard.

[bubby]

Just keep telling yourself that jordo

Looks like Mulberry to me with those kind of growth rings and the lighter color. Made a few bows out of Mulberry. Great bow wood. Make it a little wider. Beautiful wood when finished.

[Buckeye Guy]

I say its Hedge
but I can see why it would make a fellow wonder
Bark looks wrong for Mulberry and the color is off for it being cut a year ago

Osage.
