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.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!
