Qing dynasty Manchu bow

My Skyrim really needs a Manchu bow. Manchu bows were widely used in the Qing dynasty. They are basically large reflex-recurve composite bows designed to shoot heavy arrows from horseback and on foot.

These things are large - usually over 60" long strung. They have long deeply recurved knees, string bridges, horn bellies, horn-reinforced string nocks, cork handles, rayskin arrow passes and backs covered in painted birch bark. I've created an album of pictures for reference, also another album to show the size and bows' shapes at full draw.

It would be awesome if someone would undertake this (please). Thanks!
