I have not soaked them yet, but will sometime this weekend perhaps, then re take the photos of what I have in stock now.
Got some smaller more typical stuff, more tiny trees, nice burl bases, and a couple of larger pieces. Need a bigger truck also
I have not soaked these yet, these turn a nice brown color and all sink well after a few days.
I've trimmed off the bottoms of some to give a nice base to some of the more interesting pieces.
Boxing the wood is tough. So what I try to do is to fit one nice dramatic piece in the box, might need to snip a piece here or there to fit it, then pack the rest with more smaller pieces that can fit and be wedged in the box. Sometimes I can pack a few nicer pieces together, sometimes not without getting crazy on ship cost. So it's better for both if I pack a box with smaller pieces. I'll detail some tricks to deal with the wood, and place it easier also using slate bottom and a ceramic drill drill, pre drill the wood as well. This will help keep the wood in position when you set up the tank.
So this allows the aquarist to play around with many different arrangements.
What helps is a specific goal in mind from you, the tank size, and general ideas/layout plans you have.
Pics of other wood you like etc also helps.
Often I can find some fairly specific for folks with good sized tanks.
I look for smaller bonsai looking trees, not long branchy things.
I also look for nice flat front to back pieces so I can ship them easier, they also take up less room in the aquarium layout as well.
Since I do a fair amount of scaping and wood in my tanks, I know what to look for aesthetically.
As always, ask other folks what they think and realize I add extras to most all orders. So you end up with a fair amoutn more wood than the pricing might suggest.
Look, I got lots of wood, some nice pieces, the others are free basically. What am I honestly going to do with those? I do not have the heart to sell them really.

Tom Barr
