Mulberry is excellent bow wood, IMO. I've made both flatbows and stacked-belly longbows from it. The type I have used is red mulberry (Morus rubra.) Osage is in the mulberry family, and mulberry is just osage lite, pretty much.

Mulberry is good its incredibly easy to work for how good of a bow you can yet out of it.
