Boiling drift wood

[fwlionfish]

how long would everyone boil their wood to get the tannins out?
thanks in advance

5-10 mins should be suffcient depending on the size of the wood.

I've never seen wood release all of its tannins in 5-10 minutes. When I use pieces small enough to boil, I'll boil it till the water starts to get dark and change the water. Repeat this until the water no longer turns yellow. The time it takes for the water to remain clear depends on the type and size of the wood.
