Probably the most thorough website regarding endangered plants and animals is the one for Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

Any reason why you're asking? Just curious or do you have some rare wood that you're afraid you might get busted on!

From what I have been able to find out the answer is no it is not endangered but it does come from forests that might be .
The scientific name is "Platimiscium" and looks to be a beautiful wood that works well .

Not hardly. In Kansas, and maybe elsewhere, cutting OO trees for firewood is a fairly large cottage industry. Lotsa them all around most of the U.S.
BTW, this is good. I love working OO for many different projects.

Is Osage orange the same as Orange Agate? Isn't that what OO means?

Orange Agate is a wood that comes from South America.
As far as I know it is not an endangered species.
