Just heard this on the local news - wow! It's been such a local legend.

My twin brother was at a craft-show last year selling his scrimshaw and struck up conversation with someone. Turns out he livied over on the coast by Tillamook as a kid and his dad was beach-combing as a kid (1930's?) and picked up a chunk of beeswax. He was just using it to wax his thread for heavy canvas stitching so gave it to my brother. Small world.
