Maybe something like this:

That is good idea. But, please, add a column for strain values also! Stress as such is not so important, but strain is. Especially with wooden bows the maximum strain (in tension) wood can tolerate is about 0,7–1,0 %. With wooden bows materials can vary a lot and so their elastic modulus also. So, strain value tells right how much the bow really is stressed...
