Driftwood versatility

Driftwood care
The hard, gnarled, nature of driftwood means very little effort is required in the way of preservation. Outdoor sculptures will generally acquire a silvery patina, caused by exposure to UV light. In most cases it is best to display them on stones or paving slabs, so water can drain away from the base. Without any treatment at all, a driftwood sculpture should last over 25 years, with the hardest woods lasting ov
er 100 years. To prolong the life of the wood, there are a variety of wood treatment products available from DIY stores. Products like “Thompson’s Water Seal” is ideal for preserving timber without changing it’s natural hues and is virtually invisible. Two coats are recommended. A pressure wash may also be used toremove any algae or moss which can build up on the wood if it is being displayed in shaded areas and damp areas. The wood can also be spayed with a fungicide. Interior driftwood requires no treatment at all, except the occasional dusting. Driftwood supplied oiled or waxed will benefit by being re-oiled or waxed annually as required.
