Where do you people get your real drift wood?

[Zagggon]

I have looked and looked all over the place and have come up with nothing, where is it that you guys get your drift wood. I was looking at some of your tanks and there is no way that some of those are fake pieces of wood.

I found mine in a local river, stream, creek, private ponds... etc.. I've even used white sand from arizona as a substrate with alot of plants with the darkest pieces of driftwood. It came out so pretty I didn't even add fish.

Mupani tree is a hard tree found all over south africa.. most people use them for fire wood.. I just get some next to the road.. cost about nothing, and the best looking wood..

Soak it, scrub it, boil it, and soak it some more.

Makes damn fine firewood too! I used to collect it for camp fires all over Southern Africa. Ah, ah nice boerwors cooked over an open mopani wood fire under a cloudless, crystal clear, dark sky, with the bush sounds and a cold Windhoek Lager.... It's been too long...

Depending on where you are located try www.drsfostersmith.com thats where i got mine. I never looked to see if they ship outside the states though.

I got mine from a stump at the edge of our yard. Last owner cut down 2 trees and didn't grind the stumps up, so now they're starting to really fall apart and look good. I've looked at places that sell driftwood, but I just can't bring myself to pay money for "trash" wood.

I didn't think I would ever pay for wood espeically at that price but in the UK you don't really get driftwood or anything worth while so I had to buy a pice although it's very nice.

at least when you go to a LFS you have all the wood together and you just pick out a bit rather than hunting around for it
