My bows are based upon the finds at the Hedeby grave site: 
They're 6 ft long mostly straight with a slight curve.
'D' shaped, widest at center and tapered to the ends.
Flemish style string which is secured with a knot at
the bottom, notch carved into wood at top to accept the
loop at the other end of the string.
Although the Hedeby bow was made of yew, mine are made
of ash. Here's some pics:

I'm selling 30-45# bows for $130, with an optional sinew
wrapping (sinew wrapped tight around the limbs at every
few inches[will try to get pics soon]) for $20 more.  
I also have a 20# bow and a 25# bow for little vikings
for $80. $15 for shipping.
