Yeah I know right? It would be so epic! Not very likely I'll find someone but has potential.

Edit: Wanting it to work too. Not sure if I was clear about that in OP

Are you looking for a wooden bow? Or will plastic/plexi due?

I'd suggest looking into prop-making companies here in Hollywood, CA or Burbank, CA since that's where most movie props are made.

http://www.theacme.com/ is one company

i'm not sure on price ranges.

Interesting! Could probably find someone who is into SCA who does this. (If this is an April fools thing, shame on you! :[)

Did a little browsing, going to post some links for you to look at

A forum dedicated to bow making: http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/forums/18/Archery-Primitive-Bows#.T3k4JqtYuNj

https://rudderbowsarchery.com/shopping/

http://www.dwyerlongbows.com/

http://www.mahaskacustombows.com/

http://www.whitewolfbows.com/

http://www.strikerbows.com/indexa2.htm

http://www.bamabows.com/longbows.html



This site lists a bunch of different sites that custom make bows:
http://www.huntingsociety.org/longbows.html

I'm not sure about any of these of course, but they might be worth calling up and talking to?

Anyways good luck and stay safe XD

Also you might want to get some high detailed pictures of the bow itself, or some custom artwork of it so they know exactly what it looks like. The more detailed the better too.
