Mulberry stave
« on: October 20, 2009, 01:48:25 pm »
Ive got a question on a mulberry stave I recieved,part of the bark was missing and it has about a 5 inch check that goes right down the middle and at least 3/4 inch into the heartwood,would I be better off decrowning it and trying to chase a ring that way?Any advice is appreciated.Also  I would have to add on a grip if I did it that way.

I'd treat Mulberry just like osage, chase a ring of heartwood, and dimensions should be close.

Thanks for the reply guys,Ill chase it down past the check,patience is a virtue I sometimes have a hard time holding onto tho sorely needed when it comes to making a decent bow.

Like some one once said, Patience is the most important tool in bow making.
