I found this driftwood yesterday boating on the river. Can I use it? And what do I need to do to treat it, then get it to sink?

That's a nice piece. I soak mine in a rain barrel for a week or so.
As to being livestock safe. Do you have a small tank that you could
put it in first? I have a tank with 2 Buenos Aires Tetras that I use
for testing my DW. It's easy to replace the tetras. But I haven't found any
bad DW yet.

Driftwood sinks on its own. It can take anywhere from an hour to a week to get a piece waterlogged enough to sink. Mine sank almost immediately.. I guess I got lucky.
 
Nice piece!
