what is the best wood for make a one piece longbow like legollas's bow with high quality and high draw weight?
what about ash wood.
what about ash or yew
Osage Orange is the best the US has to offer. This is the wood the Indians used the most for their bows. Yew is great but you will have to import a stave of it.Or buy it from a place that has already imported some of it. But this will only add to the price Ash would be tough but I don't believe it would be springy enough for a great bow.Hickory and Red Oak will make a decent bow.And a certain kind of Maple will make a good bow. There are several links on the internet telling you how to make a long bow. Some go into much more details then others.I have a long bow made of Osage Orange that was built for me by a friend.It pulls 65 lbs at 28 inches and that is actually too heavy for a long bow. It would be much more pleasurable to shoot if it were about 50-55 lbs. You might think about this as you make yours. Good luck!

Archery Equipment - Traditional Bows
Archery Equipment – Traditional Bows:
Speaking on the subject of archery and the Traditional Bow, Were not sure exactly when this technology began. It's believed that it was formed between 25,000 to 50,000 years ago. Exact time lines are merely really a thing of speculation as far as being completely correct. We do know they did exist in ancient times, with ancient peoples and origins of society. The Bow, As we know it, Is basically a stick and a string. We therefore aren't completely sure of exactly where or when it was originated.
This occurrence of invention probably happened in many places, and several parts of the world around the same time. This invention called the Bow and Arrow, Most likely occurred over a period of hundreds of years. Based upon what scientists have told us, The Bow was first invented as a device helping early humans hunt and kill game, Reason being because it made the gathering of food easier. We do know that it became the weapon of choice against other humans in time of war. All this is simply a conjecture.
No one can be for certain how it all came about, It's very unlikely that anyone will ever know for sure on the exact history. The facts are, The Bow is a device in which stores human muscle power and energy. This energy or power is in a bent stick or sections of bone until this energy is released and imparted to a straight stick that we call an arrow. Great energy is taken from the arm muscles and back of the archer, to draw the bow, this energy is stored in the arm's of our bows. A bit of energy is lost due to inertia, friction and vibrations as our bow is drawn, more is lost as we release the string and the energy is pulled through the arrow.
Originally the string was usually made of some type of linen, Today this has been replaced by new synthetics. This has reduced the need for constant tuning of the bow as it is being shot, this perhaps reducing the vibration amount in the setup. Therefore bows can be made to a lighter weight; our arrows are also more consistent and straighter with each shot taken. These physical actions however are the same as they were when the early peoples began gathering food in this manner.
The most familiar traditional style of bow is the English Longbow, This would be the bow similar to those that the legendary Robin Hood would have used in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, England. These were very large, heavy-weight-drawn bows, they require considerable muscle strength to have drawn and shoot. Examples of these old traditional Longbows place them between 5 to 6 feet long, there draw weights are a respective 80, 90 and even 100 pounds. There are some of these examples even heavier than that. Only the beat and strongest archers could even consider trying to shoot these massive beasts, Still considering, they must have been effective.
English Long bowmen were indeed helpful in winning many a battle against enemy's, even at an outnumbered defensive. Some of these ancient longbows are still available for study, Indicating that the archer experimented with the basic design and gave each its own personal setup. Todays traditional longbow shooter usually “prefers to shoot from the shelf,” there have been early attempts at moving the arrow rest closer to the center of the bow. When shooting from the shelf, This means that the arrow is rested against the body of the bow itself or resting on the archers hand. One would have to assume that the archer was wearing some type of glove, this of course would have been to protect the archers hand from a high power pull from string to arrow. This would have meant that the feather fletching would have passed straight over the thumb and forefinger. As we look at this from many angles, The Longbow shooter must put lots of muscle into the draw and the release procedure, Theres no relaxing until the arrow is completely away.
We learn that the bow doesn't just belong to Robin Hood or William Tell but to all of us.
