I bought a Drift wood earlier...
But it wont sink... I tried soaking it in water for 6hrs now...
But it is still floating...
What should I do?
 
Soak it longer. I've had driftwood that took a full 24 hours submersed with a tie down before it would sink.

Wood can hold a lot of air if it's porous.
 
OK thanks man! :) The truth is I am worrying that I bought a wrong driftwood(you know there are lots of TRICKY LFS owners)... :)
 
For the most part driftwood/bogwood is pretty generic. As long as it doesn't look like a pine or maple board you should be ok.
 
I have had pieces that don't sink for months.
What I do is drill a small hole through the wood and put fishing line through it and tie it to a rock that holds it down.
 
I had to soak this one piece for 3 weeks.

This other piece I got had a heavy piece of 1/2 slate mounted to it's bottom for it was 48" long
 
Is it ok if i biol my drift wood of wash it with hot water? coz it seems dirty... esp. in those corner...
 
OK I'll do that... Thanks... Actually It's a little big Drift wood and thick as well... so I think I'll have to anchor it...
