Marc St Louis:
That's really nice Steve. Good Rock Maple makes an excellent backed bow when backed with Ash or Elm, I think Elm may be superior as a backing

Easternarcher:
Wow, now that's inspiring! Great clean simple lines - it's a killer:o

I tried backing a maple bow with hickory and chrysalled it!  It now lives as a hickory backed boofloo bow, soon to be posted...

yes, I'd love to see some more detail of the riser too...I gotta try that again!!! ::)

Justin Snyder:
Sweet looking bow Steve.  I see your tree lets them sit uneven until you put some stress on them. Mine does the same thing and it drives me crazy.  :P Justin

Badger:
Thanks guys, I think very thin hickory would be ok, I really have to go along with Mark on the elm backing for maple, I just don't have good access to elm. Steve

Pappy:

look sweet. :)
