Title: Mullberry finished [Pictures added]
Post by: Pappy on December 01, 2014, 07:20:22 am
Been working on this on and off for a while, finely got it finished, shoot really nice/pretty fast and smooth, lots of early draw weight and light in the hand. 62 n-n 47@26 sheep horn tip overlays and D97 string, the Mullberry was 3 years old and given to me by Clyde Gaskins at the Classic, not sure if it is white or Red, he cut in OK in his sons front yard, anyone that has been to the Classic has to know Clyde, quite the character and very generous with his giving.  :)

Nice work, Pappy. I think mulberry is an understated bow wood and you just proved it.  8)

Love your stuff Pappy and this one is no acception. Looks like a nice piece of mulberrry. Been a while since I did one. I think my skills have improved since then. Got a couple pieces in the shed will do one day.

That is a beauty. I love the classic look of those curves at full draw.  Bet it is an all around nice shooter.

You did a nice job on that bow Pappy. I've made a handful of bows from mulberry and I like it as well.
Gotta ask though are you getting shorter?  ;D  That bow looks longer than 62 in the pic of you drawing it. Must be the camera angle or my bad eyes, pretty sure you know how to measure stuff. :)

All around the mulberry stave, Pappy chased the tiller....
The mullberry stopped to flip it's tips, zing goes the bowstring!

Heck, with this bow, you might even be able to shoot further than 10 yrds at a deer!  ;)

I remember when he had that Mulberry out there in front of his tent.  Looks like you did it justice, Pap.
I corresponded with Clyde the other week.  Was glad to hear from him, he's a good guy.

You know you can, no patten on anything I do, In fact Will probably helped out on these anyway, you will notice how they don't go passed the wood , the others look good but one of my pet peeves, don't go passed the wood with tip over lays. :)
