If its not hardwood don't use it. Softwoods have resins in them that are toxic to fish and no matter how long you wash them they will still have these resins.

What exactly is driftwood? Just fallen wood? Does it matter the type of wood you use?

Yes some have toxins in them but i heard if it's submerged for a period of time it will be fine. Driftwood is what you see washed up on a beach creek or lake or other body of water. That's my own definition of it
