no thats a bad idea way bad there could be deises or papacites but if u must use them id sugest boiling them
Maybe I go a little overboard, but I soak the wood in a bleach solution for 2 days, then rinse the piece in regular water over the course of a week (changing water at least once a day), THEN boil it. I haven't had any problems yet. If the piece it too large to boil, I bake it in the oven. I've had success both ways. Driftwood is too expensive to buy. $7.99 a pound?!
