Hi Martin

Not a good enough reason in my book.

I think purple or black, they (your feet) would have to get washed, you
should have seen me eating brambles or walnuts and I still like
ras,mul,black,blue,sascatoon, etc.berries, you bet I do, still get
whatever color goes with it to. G

The mulberry wood has a nice golden color, turns a dark honey after a
while, this sentence keeps it within the rec wood turning rules.

Have fun and take care

Leo,


One reason to have a Mulberry without fruit is that is a very
messy tree.
When I was a kid, there was a Mulberry in the neighbors yard that hung over
into our yard. Running around the backyard barefoot would get you purple
feet.
I've turned a little Mulberry and IMO the wood does not have an
attractive color.
