I would go for a simple bendy handle D bow about 60" :) or even shorter depending on draw length, besides I don't think you've made a D bow yet :)

That would be a perfect stave for a eastern woodlands style bow as is.  66" ntn bend through the slightly narrowed handle.

...with side nocks!   Cherokee style hunting bow, Eastern Woodland style or a Cayuga style with deflexed bendy handle and recurved tips.  8)     Pat
