Hi Paul
Mulberry is beautiful turning wood, yes it is Yellow when new and age
to a deep shimmering honey brown, you hear people oohhh and ahhh over
Osage Orange but few can tell the difference between Osage Orange and
Mulberry, which is a close relative.
It does like to check and split if not dried properly, you do have to
make sure to slow down the drying and you should be OK.
I have turned lots of Mulberry and Osage Orange as well, I do have a
couple of pictures in Albums from some Mulberry turnings, you'll have
to look if you are interested .
