Yew the best wood to make longbows out of, although a lot of man-made materials far surpass this material, especially laminated woods, but apart from that Lemonwood and Osage are the next best although you could include "bamboo" although it isn't wood but a grass. The timbers or woods that you mention rarely rate a mention even as a core with laminates of either man-made or wood layers.
