Yew wood by far so the string will bend to release the arrow farther.
Hope this helps.:-)
Alternate answer:most crossbow arms were not made from wood, but in early crossbows from a complex laminate of horn and sinew. in the 15th century, this was replaced by a strong steel bow.
the body of the crossbow, called the stock, could be made from several timbers - oak, ash, beech, or yew were common. Many were decorated with inlaid panels of horn, ivory or other materials. Lastly, the trigger mechanism would be made from steel, or occasionally, bronze, and fixed into the stock body.

What is the difference between a longbow and a crossbow?
The Crossbow bolt has more effect against armour at close range, but it is much slower to reload and has less range. As a mass of weapons the longbow is much more effective. Thus one crossbow is probably the better weapon, but if you had say 100 of each then the longbow is better because they could fire more shots at greater range. Certainly that's what Crecy in 1346 would suggest. The most skilled of the English Longbowmen could fire 8-10 shots a minute: the most skilled of crossbowmen could manage only 1 round every minute: most required a minute and a half to fire each round. Although both has their strengths, as pointed out above, the reason the Crossbow became popular over the logbow is mainly because the crossbow was so much easier to use: it took years and years to become proficient in the longbow (English people started their training as young boys) while the crossbow could be mastered quickly: it was a matter of point and shoot. It was the considerable experience/practice vs little experience/practice requirements that eventually saw a more widespread use of the crossbow.
