I just got some new driftwood for my ten gallon, but it just floats. Any ways to make it sink? Thanks!

Boil it for a few hours, or attach it to a rock. I typically just let it float for a week or so and it eventually sinks.
You can boil wood. It's rocks you shouldn't boil because of the possibility of trapped air. To get it to sink fast boil it for a while then dunk into cool water and weigh down until its completely cool. Repeat the boiling and dunking until it stays submerged.
Oh, I new I read that something would explode if boiled. My bad
You could try a few stainless steel screws and a piece of slate or acrylic. Drill holes in the slate or acrylic, drive the screws through it and into the wood. Cover the slate/acrylic with substrate.
