It all depends on the wood... I had this one huge piece of std. Big Al's driftwood, and it had a huge piece of slate screwed to the bottom and it still floated, I let it float for a week and it still didn't sink; I gave up on it and picked up some real driftwood that was so dense it sunk by its self, no presoaking. The only downfall is after 2-3 years it still tints the water yellow/brownish.
hey i heard the big als where you're from is really nice. one of the first if im not mistaken...??? the one here in kitchener is privately owned so it has a bit different selection and outlook, come check it out sometime if you havent already. and those pieces of wood with the slab screwed to the bottom arent cheap! thats too bad it still floated. i was looking at them today and for the one i was liking it was $99.99. i thought, hmmm i think ill build this for free.
Ya, the Mississauga location is their main location or HQ as they call it. I wasn't happy about it, I even piled a ton of sand on it and it would still float.
