Sorry to here about the bow. See if you can find a cabinet shop and try some maple or even better hickory. You might pay a little more at the cabinet shop but a good 72" 1x6 can yield you 3 good 64" bows. Go to Jawges site and look at his info on choosing a good board and that might help you pick a dandy next time. Keep those shavings flying and like a good wine it gets better with time.
