Title: Mulberry stave question
Post by: burnt on June 16, 2013, 05:20:00 PM

I have a mulberry stave and was wondering how easy is it to heat bend. Can you effectively use dry heat on mulberry with a caul? my other question is how wide should the limbs be coming out of the fADES?

Yes. Mulberry bends well with heat. Make the bow at least 1 1/2" wide and 62" to 66" for 28" draw.
