Power washed and baked so there are no critters. Driftwood is 8 to 10 pieces. Used for all types of crafts. I've done flowers, birds, and butterflies on them. You can make picture frames, clocks, lamps, wreaths and so forth. Since they are all natural they can be used in reptile tanks and fish aquariums. They can also decorate you flower pots and porches in the summer.
