Congratulations to Jmilbrandt for winning March Backed BOM with his Mulberry Recurve!!!
Here is what Jmilbrandt said of his build: I made this bow for one of my friends wife. I made him a mulberry bow about 3-4 years ago and he loves it and wanted to be able to shoot with his wife. The bow is hickory backed mulberry 60" ntn 1 1/2" at the fades to 1/4" tips. It pulls 30# at 26". The recurves have a reinforcing strip of tamarisk in them, the handle is made from black walnut with a strip of mulberry through it. The overlays are pink Ivory, she said she wanted a girly bow so I tried to keep that in mind while making it. And as kind of a nice touch I put a piece of mulberry from her husbands bow under the overlays. I had alot of fun making this bow hope you guys like it.
