Tuomo:
Nice bow!

The interesting part is the backing. Why maple instead of hickory or bamboo? What species did you use, and what kind of backing slat – sugar maple, a single growth ring, or something else?

Eric Krewson:
I had a few requests for higher poundage bows over the years but nothing over 65#, that is why I started putting double nock grooves on the top limb an a wider one the bottom limb, so I could  could use a simple cord bow stringer to string those bows when they were first strung up at probably 75#+ pounds. At first I left the overlay chunky and filed it down to one groove as I finished the bow. Later I started incorporating the second groove in the finished bow as a way for the owners to easily and safely string their bow with a two loop piece of parachute cord.

A chunky stringing groove that has almost been filed away and one on my later bows;

simk:
massive  ;D

well done!

Incredible bow, Mark. What are the dimensions of it?
