Looking forward to the pics!  I have made a couple mulberry and I agree - they are extremely light and quick.
Enjoy the hunt!  Mitch

Nice bow. I like the color and the profile of that bow. It would be a good hunting bow. Nice work.

Well its about time you finished this one after that teaser post a few days ago. ;D  Worth the wait though from the looks of it in pictures. Real nice Bill, great attention to detail on everything from layout to tiller to finish. I like this one alot. Thats a beauty of a mulberry bow there and I'd bet it is a beauty to shoot as well.I hope to see that bow in person come spring at the classic Bill.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Nice! I like the way the color transitions toward the tips.

man that is classy. love the color.  i think i read that mulberry is a cousin to osage,  how does it compare working with it?

Thanks Oz, It will be there if it lasts until the first and third week in Jan. See you there.....
Been wanting a hunting bow that's not so flashy....thanks
BB right now it shoots sweet, hope to see you at the classic, maybe we can shoot a round.
Mulberry is a lot softer than osage
Yep, I think it's quick,  but couldn't tell ya for sure.
Thanks all for the comments,  but, I was hoping for a little corrective criticism from Blackhawk, OO, Pearl and the others on the tiller really helps me to train my eye.
THANKS! GUYS
