Osage and pacific yew are very traditional woods. They make a good, narrow bow. Lemonwood also makes a good bow. It was preferred back in the 30s-50s because it was readily available in board stock, inexpensive, and lent itself to mass produced wooden bows. Once fiberglass came on the scene, mass produced wooden bows fell out of favor.
Other good woods: hickory, hornbeam, maple, white oak, red and white elm, walnut, mulberry, sassafras, juniper, birch, hackberry, ash, etc.
The list is too big to include here. If the wood has a specific gravity of .50+, then odds are it can be good bow wood. Sometimes a specific species has certain properties that have to be accounted for in design (hickory retains moisture, black locust can fret, cherry is lightly weak in tension, etc).
Match the right design to the wood species and lots of woods can make a bow.
Check out the previously mentioned links I posted and you'll see there are countless species of wood that can be turned into a bow.
