Collecting Wild Driftwood...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would say if its easy for the bark to come off it should be fine. but im a newbie to driftwood

That's what I was thinking. Like I could run down the length with a hacksaw and it wasn't difficult to remove at all. Other pieces I could pull it off with no effort.
 
I found an AWESOME piece and 3 other small ones today. However I'm leaving them outside before I do any work on them simply because I'm not bringing whatever bugs/termites are on it. It was on a dead tree, the wood was solid, and still was very hard when I knocked on it. I assume it will work. Just not sure what steps I should take to clean it. Cause the second it gets in my door it'll be in the water.
 
I jus scrubbed and soaked my in the bathtub with really hot water. did tht for bout two days and then put mine in the tank. some say u should srub, soak, then let it completely dry (im guessing for a couple weeks??) b4 you put in ur tank.

:popcorn:

Mines about 8x3 so all maintenance has to be done in the garage or outside. And I'm not waiting that long lol.
