Driftwood - wood from the ocean.
Driftwood is a wooden product made from driftwood, branches and roots thrown out by the sea during storms
Driftwood is a bog wood that has been floating in the sea for a long time.
Roots and driftwood that came out of the sea are already natural works of art in themselves, and we just have to put a little of ourselves and our creative vision into them.
While such a tree wanders and drifts along the sea waves, the bark falls off, the wood is saturated with salts, all the irregularities are rolled and turned. It is completely natural, created by water, sun, wind and environmentally friendly. Such wood is incredibly beautiful, caressed by sea waves, it has an excellent texture and polish.
Driftwood has come a long way, survived many adventures at sea, temperature and pressure changes.
Driftwood is very pleasant to the touch and does not leave splinters. It is no longer afraid of any external influences and is very durable, the content of sea salts inside is quite significant!
Wood from the sea is very durable: it does not dry out, does not crack, is not afraid of water, is practically not subject to rotting, wood-boring beetles avoid it.
Despite all this, Driftwood is carefully processed before being used to create compositions.
Methods of cleaning and processing driftwood:
- mechanical processing - remove hard debris from the driftwood with a brush with soft bristles (if deep cleaning is needed, they are washed under running water, then thoroughly dried);
- treated with a biocidal composition for wood.
A biocidal composition is needed to protect wood from biological damage (rot, mold, fungus, blue stain) and insect pests, as well as to destroy insect larvae.
Works from Driftwood look luxurious in the interior of any room, and sculptures will decorate any park or area. Driftwood products can also be used to organically decorate the space of aquariums and enclosures. And from the largest parts of the tree nailed by the sea, with additional processing, extremely beautiful and functional shelves are obtained. From smaller branches, designer lamps and floor lamps, decoration for wall mirrors and clocks, panels and other interesting works are obtained. You can create entire wooden sculptures that will become a real asset in the landscape design of your site.
