John Strunk made a beautiful bow from a piece of oregon osage.  He mentioned several places where it grows in western oregon.  I have a lead on a hedgerow near Rickreal...will have to make it down there soon.  I am sure I could get some osage seeds from it in summer....seeds that know western oregon 8)

The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
