I built a bamboo backed yellowheart bow several years ago, it worked fine, not as strong in compression as osage but better than hickory.

Yellow heart is awesome stuff. And it's beautiful. Careful sanding it though, too fast and you'll burn your material. Finish it with some sort of poly, and you'll get a very deep finish. Good luck.
