I'm not sure of the water temperature so that's a factor. If the creek is tidal fed then the current might flow both directions, so the forearm could still be in the general area. A splinter forearm would sink rather quickly and likely entangle in growth at the bottom.
You could even jury rig a breathing tube tied to a float that would allow you to spend more time under water searching. That is your best bet other than waiting to find a replacement.

I would opt for a strong magnet on a length of parachute cord. Drag and probe the bottom. I think you would have a better than 50% chance of finding it.
Don’t worry about the wood… it can be easily dried and even refinished if necessary.
