Any experiences with driftwood from www.aquariumdriftwood.com
Any other online sources?
What's the difference between drirftwood and bogwood?
Can anyone recommend a shop in Northern NJ or Eastern PA that might have a good selection?
Thanks

I've bought driftwood from several places recently. Here are a few examples -

The driftwood on the left is from -
Wilma's Driftwood (http://www.jayscustomcomputers.com/wilma/)
The driftwood on the right was bought at a LFS.
I've also bought a few pieces from Dr. Foster & Smith. They have both African (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=10686&R=19218&N=2004+113145+113565&in_merch=1), Malaysian (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=8103&R=13441&N=2004+113145+2032&in_merch=1) and Blocky (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=5079&Ne=40000&R=9654&Nao=18&N=2004+113145) types. This is one of the pieces I bought from Dr. Fosters. I think it was the African variety -

Just happen to see this one for you...

At least from a very brief search it looks like bogwood appears to be more flat shape than some driftwood, although since it is natural maybe it can be taller like driftwood as well.

Personally, I like Cypress driftwood the best. It is the only kind sold at the all the LFS around here, since it is local. Sometimes you can find it on ebay.

I have heard good things about Florida Driftwood (www.floridadriftwood.com), and I have never bought driftwood from him, but I have bought some awesome plants from Off-Ice at Plant Geeks (http://www.plantgeek.net/store_wood.php) . This link takes you right to the wood he currently has available.
