Hey people,
My friend back in WI used to make driftwood and I was wondering how to do that? I moved to NE and ive looked around and most places have small driftwood and they almost all either have no driftwood or have plants attached to them (which i do not want!). Im looking for some driftwood that would fit/look well in a 40 gallon. So i want it to be bigger in size. A little bigger than this: http://theaquariumwiki.com/images/thumb/4/4a/Sumatra_driftwood_example1.jpg/500px-Sumatra_driftwood_example1.jpg. I want it to look like that (have branches coming off of it and such). I need help figuring out how to make it aquarium safe and where to find some wood like this?
 
Most interesting wood comes from the roots of the tree. Find a suitable piece of hardwood, preferably dead and soak it.
