evilknieval69 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 On a recent East coast new years eve trip i found some cool driftwood, on a HUGE driftwood beach (well thats it new name now ) The wood comes down the multiple rivers, from up in the forests, then the waves wash it onto the beach. It is all mainly the lighter stuff, but there is a bit of dark stuff aswell. I mainly got darker stuff because i like it better. Heres a couple pics of the beach that i took (excuse the female 8) ) Here it is in my 100 odd litre driftwood sinking barrel outside I took some of it out to show you And this is my latest project (with some of the new driftwood) My bristlenose breeding tank (new thread will be started on that eventually So yer, if you are heading around the top of the east coast, then i reccomend stopping in at one of the few driftwood beaches. Pics dont do these pieces justice, there are so many cool crevices in some of the pieces. And so many cool shapes...... Rogan 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
