native driftwood?

I think it would be ok if you soaked it in very hot water or boiled it, then add some salt as someone said. Then a clean rinse.

does anyone know of a list of "safe" wood that you can use? I live in north Florida, and my property is surrounded by woods. and lakes, and rivers.

There's an article in the May or June 2006 AFM on collecting/curing driftwood

Yeah, well the driftwood I collected did a number on the color of my water. Water changes help, but I have a feeling its going to be stained for a while. No fish loss though, thankfully.
