i dunno were he got it from
if i give it a realy good clean with a clean scrubing brush poor sit it in boiling water then in water for a fre days then backin in boiling water. Will that be ok?
If it is labled as "driftwood" then you should be alright but just make sure it is actually what it says. I would soak it for awhile and make sure when you smell it after a few days it doesn't smell like it is rotting.
