om...
otherwise I have a garbage bin full of driftwood I am TRYING to get to
sink.
I try change water on this bin once a week to keep the tannin leaching
going.


Not wanting to teach you to suck eggs, but have you tried attaching the
driftwood to an inert piece of rock and sinking it? I have found in the
past it helps the wood to become saturated much quicker than just allowing
it to float.

Yea it's stacked up pretty good and all under the water once I put on the
lid and a big brick ontop of that......
these things take time....
As a point of note tho.... find an old mullberry tree, the wood is very
gnarled and cool
takes a bit to get it too sink but it beats hybiscus hands down.
I mean everyone loves mangrove but yea mullberry ain't bad at all.
If I really need it too sink quickly
I chuck a cutoff 44 gallon metal drum on the BBQ and boil it up for a while
in salty water
chuck it into cold water
and it usually sinks then
Or as ya say attach something heavy!
the old ziptie a rock to the dam thing trick
