Mullberry

Have any of you guys used mulberry? Got some in my woods I would like to make some self bows out of. I heard it makes a good bow.
Do you treat it like a white wood or do you cure it bark on like osage?
Does it chrysal easily? Fretting is my nemesis!

If you use the search bar in the top right corner you can usually find an answer to any question you have. And you usually get them faster, because people most just give this kind of response lol.

It's good enough. Treat it like osage, just make it a little wider.
Straight wood may make a better bow, but crooked wood makes a better bowyer
