    Found this on FBM and recognized the bark. I was even surprised the homeowner knew it was mulberry as well. Farther than I normally would go but WTH, I drove out of state to cut some a couple years ago.:loco: :crazy: Easy back up, cut and load. Not my usual full load but MB scores of any size are few and far between so I take what I can get.

    When I cut mulberry for the first time a few years ago I though the yellow heartwood was the coolest thing. Its kind of a scarce tree around here.

    Wearing the yellow safety shirts has become my trademark the last decade or so. Ms. buZZsaw's son calls me high visibility Brad.

    Not much, maybe a 1/4 cord including nuggets and limb wood. Its been sitting since June of last year so most of the bark came off. Other than some schmutz under the bark the wood was solid. MB has a good shelf life. I split the bucked rounds right off the truck after. Ill process the rest next week. DSCF0193.JPG

    Yeah, great shelf life and works good for fence posts too. It is a cousin to Hedge.
