red mulberry bow
« on: April 24, 2016, 05:48:47 pm »
This is a piece of red mulberry from my backyard.  It came from a male tree which are less dense than the females, but generally grow straighter and cleaner.  I left one sapwood ring on the back of this one and then glued on a faux copperhead skin with tbIII.  It's 66" ntn and draws 50#@28".  The tip overlays are cowhorn and the arrow shelf is some very old Osage.  Fast flight string and tru-oil finish.  It's far from perfect, but I'm in a hurry to get it done so that I can hand it off to its new owner this week.  Hope he likes it.  Josh

Sharp looking bow, Josh. You must be working on that while at work.

Love mulberry. Always looks a bit overbuilt, but everything else about it is killer.

Looks good from here. How do you like the faux copperhead? I've been wondering how it looks.
