Needs to be a heavy English longbow. Stave is 81 inches.

Design I'm using can make bows 200lbs.

 Worth looking at the previous post too as it's where I handle the Mary Rose bow, you can see how big they are :laugh:

Apparently not too bad. Needs cleaning up and blending.

Glad Del chimed in on this one, no doubt others could have handled it as well, but probably none better.
