if it's still solid i dont see why not but you will have to clean it really well. not sure on size but if you can boil it that would work best.
i would soak it in hot water and scrub it with a brush of some type to get all the possible gunk off and out of any crevices and then once you think its good to go i would boil it to kill off any bacteria you cant see.
yes i would boil it also although the piece i got from petsmart i didn't boil.i did set it in a bucket for several days till it came clear,while changing the water 5 or 6 times a day.
even now it still leaches a little tannin,nothing objectable though.i have it in a 29g and change about 50to 75% of the water weekly.
next time i will boil mine however.allwet.....

easiest way to "sterilize" driftwood. Boil, scrub, rinse, bake... that's right. Baking will turn the water trapped in to steam... instant auto-clave!
