Does anyone use mulberry for self bows?   If so how much does a mulberry stave sell for?

I've made several nice selfbows of mulberry, including my present favorite. Wingnut once told me that the best selfbow he ever made was mulberry.
 I believe Pine Hollow sells them for 45-60 bucks. Look him up on the sponsors list....Terry

No, ship all your straight grain Mulberry to me for disposal.

2 of the best self bows I ever made were from Mulberry.  It reminds me of Osage without the weight.  It even looks and smells somewhat like Osage just not as heavy.

I've seen mulberry growing along fence rows in Indiana. Birds love the berries and do a good job of replanting ...along fence rows.   Pat

Joe,  I have my eyes on a few.   Maybe we can get together and you can show me how to make a selfbow.
  Also Joe please read the thread I started on the LDB forum.

I just bought a Mulberry stave on a popular internet auction site (sound familiar?) for $46 plus shipping = $62.  Looks great.  Sure hope I can do it justice as soon as I complete the white oak stave I bought from Mike Yancey @ Pine Hollow.  Picked that one up myself.  Should complete it today (see my "Ol' Cracker posts recently).
