Took two different glueups out of the caul and mounted horn overlays. Now approaching a white mulberry stave for a selfbow. Working this wood for me is a first time experience...very curious.
Cheers

Mulberry makes a great selfbow. If you are not familiar with working it make your selfbow about 10% longer and wider than a typical osage bow.
I've only worked with red mulberry and not white mulberry so take what I said with a grain of salt.

[Crooked Stic]

I was not aware of red and white Mulberry. I have worked with some that was yellow wood and checked as bad as Osage. I did get enough for a riser and some veneers.

[Roy from Pa]

Our Mulberry here is close to Osage in color, but not as strong as Osage.

[Kirkll]

Nice Bryan.

I heat my shop with mistakes.  LOL

Get rid of the evidence that way too...

[garyschuler]

Roy, either you have a tiny shop or you make a lot of mistakes. It takes a lot of mistakes to heat a normal size shop. !!!! Lol !! Funny stuff!!

[Crooked Stic]

I spect there is enough hot air out of Roy to heat bout any shop 

[Roy from Pa]

Oh there's been a few bows burnt in the wood burner:)

[Pat B]

Have you started shoveling snow yet, Roy. THat will keep you warm in the cold weather.

[Roy from Pa]

I did something pretty cool today. My wife and kids and I went to an escapology studio today..... After a brief introduction, they put you in a room and you watch a short video, then try and figure out how to escape using clues that you search for and hidden puzzle pieces and codes to figure out that leads to the next puzzle.. 

It was pretty difficult to do in your one hour time limit..... we did get it figured out, but only had a minute and 40 seconds left on the clock with 4 of us working the puzzles.....

If they have something like this near you, I'd highly recommend it for a totally different type of entertainment. It was fun.    Kirk

Got called into work today. Had a new MRI, Chiller and magnet installed. The chiller froze up yesterday. We had to build a tent and get it unthawed before bad things happen. We got it before. Anything bad happened. Plus I was on vacation. So that was double time. It was 15° and 40 mph winds. Good thing the deer weren't biting lol Now back to longbow building and regular life. JF

[Kirkll]

I'm sure glad we rarely get that kind of cold weather here. I don't function well in that kind of weather any more.  That is miserable working conditions.    Kirk

[B-JS]

Finished a Set of ILF Longbow Hybrid Limbs for me.
Now i need to find some Time to Test them.
