FedEx Ground Advantage is relatively inexpensive when purchased on Click and Ship. Just a suggestion for general information.

We're talking some really big pieces, though...

I use pirateship; also ups ground might be an option. I buy most of my driftwood at kensfish - can get huge pieces with free shipping. The HUGE downside is you can't see it first unless you live in MA; but plus is it mostly works.

Interesting. Next time I get over to the dentist's office I'll see what I have over there. (I keep my spare driftwood and rocks under their back deck). I've been sick and haven't been over this week, but I'll take some pics of whatever looks useful and we'll see if I can figure a way to ship them.

Big box of wood arrived from Wyoming today, courtesy some very amazing forum members (thank you @WhistlingBadger @jaylach), and in combination with the wood I collected at the river with some careful superglue or silicone to attach them to each other this will make quite a lovely centerpiece!

 

[WhistlingBadger]

Glad it made it to you in relatively few pieces!

A word to the wise: Fasten that wood very firmly. As in, attach it to an anvil, with 10", depleted uranium lag screws. Seriously, juniper is EXTREMELY bouyant, and it takes forever to waterlog. I had a piece in the 150 float loose after almost a year!

Have you ever had a problem with the oils in juniper affecting anything ?

No, I only use wood that has been dead for a long time, and I've never had trouble with it. It does sometimes release a lot of tannins into the water though, for quite a long time. I don't consider that a bad thing, unless one wants to actually see one's fish.

I've never had an issue with wood being too buoyant. If the wood floats just drill a few holes and fill with BB's or other weight. Seal the holes with silicone, to avoid leeching from the weight and to keep the weight within the wood. It won't float.

That is some hillbilly... Redneck techniques.. A couple bird shots and it'll sink.

Hey, may be a hillbilly... Redneck technique but it DOES work. Some of such solutions do work whether hillbilly or redneck. The following image is a good example... I could see me using something like this just to irritate neighbors.

Nah, redneck would be filling the wood full of bbs by actually shooting it with a shotgun.

Just like every single road sign and billboard anywhere in Montana or Wyoming .

Oddly I haven't noticed any shot up road signs here in Sheridan Wyoming but did when I lived Jacksonville Beach Florida.

Then you ain’t looking close enough or they’re new signs . They’ll get it .
