This might be a better question for r/bowyer as they are more experts on bow making.
Other than that sub I would check out some of the archery videos by shawn wood including one on a yew bow but I would suggest watching all of the Otzi the iceman series he did so you can see how to make all the tools as well as the arrows. He recogmends the Bowyer's bible so I would suggest investing in that resource.
I also like this video from shawn though the bow is probably a lot less powerful than the one you are envisioning, it would be ideal for small game and birds and certainly a good practice bow if you haven't made one already. I made a bow based on this method and it did work rather well, until it snapped but I think I may have whittled the ends too much.
Shawn also did some good videos on bow strings, including; sinew, flax and hemp which I found interesting.
Haha, I don't know why but your comment made me think of this Simpsons episode. "They say he carved it himself from a bigger spoon."
But seriously, I recommend Bushcraft 101 by Dave Canterbury and Tom Brown's Field Guide for Wilderness Survival
For Youtube channels, I recommend Wilderness Outfitters - (associated with the Pathfinders School) and Ray Mears
If you have the means, I recommend real training like a Pathfinder School
Checked my local library and there was few books available but most of them were in Finnish. Only English one i found was Celebrating Birch: The Lore, Art and Craft of an Ancient Tree, which is also available on Amazon.
