There was an article in PA magazine a few years ago about using oleander for bows. Do a search and see if you can find it. I'll search also.
   Be aware that all parts of oleander are very toxic. Handle with care!

There are lots of bow woods out there but if we don't experiment we'll never know.  ;)
 My search came up with what I posted to you.  ::)    I'll see if I can find the article in one of my back issues.
