Muskyman:
Do you guys think I could make a good bow with this piece of wood?

Eric Garza:
Depends how long that straight section is.

Muskyman:
I think the overall stave is about 8 feet. I might just cut it off about 4 foot and use it as a billet.

Hamish:
looks like 2 character english longbows, if you split it.

bentstick54:
How wide is it? It looks like your string could line up at both ends and still naturally run through the center of the stave. If you follow the grain with the dog leg so there is no grain run off you could possibly turn out a shooter.
Here’s one I made that shoots as good ass any that I have made and has held up well. 3rd from the left.
