Where Can you buy large Driftwood in the uk.

Ive been looking everywhere. the largest i could find is about 15"x 4"
i want something like one of these or large y shaped piecesthat i can prop up (hope you dont mined me using your photo OFL)

any idears where i could get a piece from and a rough price?

Your local fish store should be okay to get hold of it for you from their wholesalers. They probably won't actually hold in the stock because not many people want such large pieces of wood. However, be warned it's very very expensive for very large pieces that are pre-prepared and ready for an aquarium

or you could try the internet shops. You may have to contact them to tell them what you want and it of course would be buying unseen

i got mine of a secondhand site and i even found it in my hometown.
i payed 25 euros for a huge tree, but you need some luck to find it.

thats a nice piece of wood

Thanx, i had a hard time fitting it in there, that was a real puzzle.
But i wanted it big...

has anyone tried to take smaller pieces of bogwood and epoxy them together to make a taller or stacked piece?

I saw this product and was wondering if anyone has ever tried it. Thought it maybe a way to get the look of a bigger piece at a lower cost. Or, in my case take what I already have and make a tower of sorts, without the risk of toppling over.

Excellent idae!
that could work real well and would help to make something very personal to your liking!

hey guys, before you start whacking loads of wood into your tank bear in mind the water displacement. Large heavy pieces of wood will mean less water in your tank, so if your tank is not particularly big in the first place, I wouldn't advise going too mad with your wood
