Never tried it for a bow, but quartersawn sycamore is some sure-nuff purty wood.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

I tried making a hickory/sycamore long bow with a cocabola riser. Unfortunately upon completion and stringing the sycamore wood split though this may be because of the Lock-tite wood epoxy. It does have a wonderful aroma and made a great wood canteen that will even make rain water sweet.
