Sure, but that means you have to decide what they
do mean, and unfortunately, the word 'organic' only dates back to the 14th century (at which point it meant 'relating to organs' and probably excludes a wooden staff).
I don't have a problem with you choosing the definition 'of, relating to, or derived from living organisms' -- but my example of 'flesh to stone -> stone to metal -> craft into sword' qualifies, it's most certainly derived from a living organism.
