You can screw a slate base to the wood using stainless steel screws. Don't use galvanized screws because they have chemicals on them. The rock will hold it down and you can hide it in the gravel.

The rule is for something to sink it HAS to weight more than the water it displaces.
Thing with "bogwood" is, it does on the hole and so sinks, probally something to do with it being quite hard/heavy and not massivly porous.
"Dirftwood" doesnt, even when its water logged you'll be pushing it. Probally becuase driftwood is mostly very poruos to the point that some pieces are almost hollow.
You're probally best going for the slate/weighted approach as others have said

the problem with my driftwood is...its a horizontal piece, and only slated on one end. so the non-weighted end rises to the surface.
