I'd be curious to hear how the bow turns out. I've heard that Osage Orange wood makes good bows, and I know of a couple of very large, mature trees near my house. When I get home I may go check them out and see if there are any likely looking branches that need trimmed...
Bass pro for compounds, but I wouldn't go look at any traditional stuff there. Try going to Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear at on Sheridan at I-76. Best selection of all the Trad Gang gear. My 2 cents.

I have a Master Bowyer as my instructor. (Dad!) 50+ years making traditional recurves and longbows.

My new takedown Longbow Hybrid:
Riser: Lacewood with Osage.
Limbs: Birdseye Maple with Clear Glass. Osage Fadeout.

Might be able to get some photos tomorrow, still a bit of work to go yet before it's done.
