moondog Moderator The Hobnob-lin Posts: 2676 Kudos: 1038 Votes: 4366 Registered: 30-Sep-2002 | the reason why most driftwood comes from malaysia is because they have so damn much of it seriously though, i work with a lot of malaysians and they said they have so much wood floating around that people don't always know what to do with it. if you can fit it in a pot then boil it for a few minutes, otherwise you can also bake it in the oven or pour boiling water on it in the bathtub.
