Hello everyone. new Driftwood inventory for March is up:
www.tedsfishroom.com/wp/driftwood
Also... the importer I buy wood from has added mangrove root to their product line. I do not know the prices or sizes yet, but in my experience mangrove does not look all that great unless the pieces are in the 18 - 30 inch range. They are also usually cut flat on the bottom, and sometimes both top and bottom, so that they sit in the tank vertically to give the look of tree trunks. Is there any interest for mangrove? A lot of people talk about it, but would a 24 inch piece at $60 - $80 be saleable (price is a guess... hopefully it is a high guess)? Here is an image sent to me by my supplier. Scale is hard to determine, but I am guessing that this is a 30" or taller piece... I think that it is exceptional, and smaller pieces would not be as spectacular, but the vertical trunk effect would be about the same.
They are also offering really, really big peices of Malaysian Driftwood in the 5 - 6 foot in length range. They describe them as 'branches' so they are probably long and thin, or logs. They did not send me an image. The price on these big display pieces would be $300 - $400, and I do not think that I would be set up to ship them if I get some... pick up or delivery only. If anyone thinks that they want some pieces of that size let me know. I will probably get a few on my next order, but if there seems to be a demand I will get more than just a couple.
