What Kinds Of Wood Can I Use?

[kevthefish]

Basicaly i'm looking for new and interesting ways to attach java moss to different things.
I was just wondering can i use wood from my garden, if i strip it of it's bark?

I'm getting more and more java moss every week, and i wanted to attach it to maybe some twigs
to make it grow. If the wood stays submerged.

Thanks

any wood, you might want to boil it to get rid of any parasites or pesticides etc.

i was wondering if there were restrictions on the type of wood i could use? for example would cedar be safe to use? kevthefish just asked first so im expanding on his question.

I wasn`t aware there was link between wood and BGA.
