Hickory or bamboo I think are the only ones that will take that weight

by the way do you think its possible to build up to that point from where i am now, i'm only aiming for 205 or 210 although if i can do better i will try ;D
thanks

Ian.:
If I was you i would shoot 140 for the rest of the year still the heaviest bow out of anyone for your age, then when you shoot that bow all day go to 150 then every year go up 10lb then in 5 years you'll have 190 not only that you will be a great archer, ive seen loads of people who shoot heavy weights and it is silly when they squeeze the life of of a 140+ bow just to get 220 yards with it, 10 years ago pulling that weight would have been impressive but nowadays every man and his dog can pull a heavy bow controlling it and launching military arrows a long way is far more impressive.

Ive no double if you are able to make the bows that one day you will pull 210 what condition your body will be in is another story.
