hickory backed mulberry ?'s

i found a local hardwood supplier who carries mulberry boards, would these be worth my time backing with hickory or boo perhaps?
worth my time meaning: take the compression, any better than hickory. im sure they will need to be mostly heart wood also?

Mulberry is a very good bow wood and would be a good candidate for hickory backing and probably boo also. Do you know what specie of mulberry it is? Pat

im not sure what species, i know alot of lumberyards are kinda vague with species, iv heard alot of hickory boards are pecan, its hickory just not one of the better ones. im prob going to give the mulberry a try

Been trying to find some mulberry boards for a hornbow project for a long time,you are lucky,it is similar to osage.takes bending very well.The Korean hornbow sahiyas are made exclusively with mulberry.
