i wanted to try mulberry sapwood so here is a 55" 35# @ 26" , sapwood is much lighter than i expected but it is pretty strong. was goin for 40# but seems like all my bows keep coming in light :-\ but its a fun target bow.
-
good lookin bow man ! it should work fine for targets and small game ... dont shoot the easter bunny !!
-
:D thanks ken

I've made bows with mulberry sapwood. Works great but a sapwood bow is a lot thicker than a similar bow of heartwood.
You did a good job on this bow.

35lbs is a good all day shooting bow. good job, I did that on 2 bows myself, just gave one to my wife and one to my daughter.
-
Nice looking bow. Isn't Mulberry nice to work with?
-
Nice bow. 35# bows are fun to shoot aren't they? That's a nice one. You did good job. It doesn't need to be a rocket launcher to be a good bow... Good job man.

Great lookin bow Shawn! I got a bunch of mulberry that I was thinkin I was goin to have to take the sapwood off, guess not. :)
-
thanks everyone , ya mulberry is nice to work.

And to think, I've been hogging off all that sap wood on Red Mulberry. Wonder if the same is true for Osage?
Anyway nice work.

i saw a osage sapwood bow in lawton that was made by an apache bowyer(cant remember his name) but it can be done, i think osage just checks easier.
