I went to my local florist and while I was poking around outside I spied some driftwood. At $3 a piece I think I got a major score. I think it's mopani.
I would be care full with that. They may have put a protective coating on there. Does it look raw or a shiny coat? If its all good i might go to the florist and see if they have any for myself.
almost... but looking closely at the cut side stems you'll see there is absolutely no flaking/stringing.. that's usually a dead giveaway and is nearly impossible to prevent.
