Driftwood
All 17 of the driftwood based on 3D scans of real wood available in the aquascaping simulator Aquageorama.
Spider wood
Azalea roots. Thin roots twist and spread in every direction; peeled, they are pale golden brown. Light, floats until waterlogged.
Branch wood
Finely branching twigs, dried and peeled. Thin, winding and light in colour. Good for small tanks and aquaterrariums.
Horn wood
Horn-like curved branches grow from a thick root. Peeled, it is a reddish brown with a smooth surface.
Manzanita
Branches of a North American shrub. Twisting and forking in dry land, with smooth, knotty red-brown wood.
Malaysian driftwood
Wood buried for years in Southeast Asian rivers and swamps. Stained black to dark brown, very heavy, sinks at once.
Mopani wood
A legume tree from southern Africa. Dark heartwood and pale sapwood give two tones. Heavier than water, many tannins.
Mangrove root
Roots of mangroves standing in estuary mud: many arching roots let down to stay upright, rugged and gnarled.
Split driftwood
Trunks and thick branches split lengthwise by repeated drying and wetting. Cracks follow the grain; the surface weathers grey.
Bleached driftwood
Driftwood long stranded on beaches. Sunlight breaks down the surface, leaving white to silver-grey wood with raised grain.
Root stump
A root stump washed away roots and all. Roots spread from the thick base, so it sits steadily.
Buttress-root tree
A whole tree base with plank-like buttress roots, scaled down. Set it in the middle of a 120 cm tank and let moss creep over it for an ancient-tree scape.
Gnarled old tree
An old tree whose twisted branches radiate from a thick base. Upright it reaches the surface; laid down it becomes a fallen tree with roots.
Large driftwood
A real decorative driftwood piece (45-70 cm) with branches flowing from a root base. One piece carries the whole scape.
Thin dead branch
A branching dead twig and slender fallen pine sticks (1-3 cm thick). For a thicket of fine branches in the back or twigs up front.
Beach driftwood
Wave-washed beach driftwood (4-12 cm thick): a flat split chunk and a long piece with a flared root end.
Thick log
A thick log covered in moss and lichen, and a rooted stump (10-16 cm thick). A base for the scape.
Thin twig
A thin weathered twig. Layer several to build the gaps of a forest floor or spreading roots. Comes in many lengths, branchings and colours.
