We stock dense decorative root wood from
north central Namibia in our warehouse in upstate New York. The driftwood has been sandblasted.
It should be leached for 72 hours in running water before use in an
aquarium. It is nice, clean and very
gnarled. Each piece is unique. The driftwood is called
mopane, also known as cow fan wood. This is the root from trees.
Mopane wood is extremely dense and will sink when placed in water without
the addition of any weights.
There are many applications for this driftwood. To
name a few:
Garden & Patio Decoration
Floral Displays - Click for sample
pictures
Taxidermy Mounts
Aquarium and Pond Displays
Table Centerpieces
Candle Holders
Lamp Bases
Bases for Sculptures
The driftwood is non-toxic (i.e., it will not kill your fish) and ready for
use in an aquarium after a thorough rinsing. The driftwood is also very
dense and will
sink to the bottom
of an aquarium or water tank without needing slate weights.

sizes you are looking for and we will select nice pieces for you or you
