I am looking for driftwood not the root kind. I require the heavy brown, black ones which readily sink.
Regards

Dear Prem,
I happend to see quite some stuff similar to that you are looking for at Aquastar. Not at their store but at their farm/warehouse. They were soaking in huge cement tanks, guess previously used to hold their fish stocks. Infact some were really huge ones .You might want to check that place  or call them up and enquire if they have anything left out over there.
Regards,
Ravi |

Thanks Ravi. I just spoke to Vincent and he did confirm he has them in his farm. I will go and check tomorrow.
Madan Sir, I shall drop you a PM once I get hold of them.

Prem |

2000 meters high. |
