Mulberry is the most traditional for a Korean horn bow. Try Murray Gaskins:

My contact in Hebei has a good supply of black mulberry wood. I could get a few pieces; but it could be expensive to send. Where are you? What are the biosecurity regs?

Osage; you could try Gary Davis he lives in Chesaning MI, phone# 989-845-7740. Gary deals with alot of osage and may have some small pieces that he may part with, and I hope he is close enough to you that you can visit.
