Nice! Can't see much of the grain in the pics but it look great for some laminate bows. Good score.

The second one in looks pretty decent. The farthest has a few possibilities if you can stay away from those checks. The other two seem to have some issues. Hard to tell without seeing them in person. What are their sizes?

I would not buy sawn lumber sight unseen. The chance of too many problems.

Well my plan is to drive down and look at it first, it is a drive though, about 230 miles round trip.

I don't think so, these are not my pictures, a lumber dealer took these pictures for me and sent them to my email ya see. And I am sure no big dealer would sell mulberry as osage, the woods are very easy to tell apart.

That would've been a waste of money to drive out that far for that IMO...the two on the left have some nasty damage,and the two on the right have some pretty severe grain violation where the tree had a risen area from a knot and it was sawed thru it....ya might've been able to get a few bows by using half of the boards n splicing em..maybe...but since you'd have to drive that far and pay for the wood? NO WAY JOSE!!!
