Mulberry is a golden brown wood that darkens to a red/brown with age. It is easily worked and is odourless and none toxic. It is most commonly used in furniture and turned items.
When it comes to antiques, “Mulberry wood” can be a contentious subject. Some items labelled as “Mulberry” can often be made from various other kinds of wood like Curly Maple, Sycamore or Chestnut. These would be stained and dyed to enhance the grain into the dramatic contrast that appears on Mulberry items.
