| Posted by Bonehead (Planet Earth - Zone 8b) on Aug 15, 2014 1:53 PM Native in the Pacific Northwest, found in open woods, clearings, logged areas, and coastal bluffs. The wood is extremely hard, and was made harder by heating it over a fire and used for digging sticks, spears, bows, and arrows by the native tribes, and later as pegs in construction when nails were scarce.
