Just wondering about a good website to order large prices of driftwood at a reasonable price. Where do you shop? Thanks

cichlid.greenhorn said:Awesome, my parents have a creek and a pond on their property. This makes me wonder, could I find nice pieces in the woods then cure them in the pond attached to a rope?
jetajockey said:I'd check in the creek, that's where I get all my pieces from (or from a guy that collects them from the creek anyway). The nice thing about pieces that are already submerged is that they don't release any tannins.
If you get pieces from out in nature be sure to boil them and soak them really well in a bucket and/or dry them out for several weeks and allow them to sun bake. Either way works.
All of these pieces came out of coldwater creek, a tributary to blackwater river in the florida panhandle
