Driftwood

[gwugrad03]

I have recently won a set of several pieces of cypress driftwood from ebay. They look pretty cool. The web page says that they have been pressure washed and sun dried. is there anything else I need to do when they arrive before I add them to my tank? Thanks for any help you can give.

Wouldn't boiling the wood make it all soft and squishy? I just soak my wood for a day or two before hand, give it a light scrub under a tap, and then put it in the tank- never had any problems with my wood .
