Driftwood in ponds

[ponderpaul]

some pics of wood that I have in the yard and around the pond. Some I went looking for, some I just drug home and found a use for. Yeah, I love driftwood!:nananananana:
Found this old log in our ally

This piece came from a local lake shore

Found this gem laying out in the woods. Yes, it took some effort to get it home -- in the trunk of the car. The smaller one behind it was also laying in the ally.

The stumps at the back of the pond were hauled in for me by a neighbor that took a tree down and needed to get rid of them

if everything works out well then i can make you one and send it down to ya..just find a piece of drift wood or a tree stump with roots and i can try to make it..or just get me some dimensions and a drawing and i can go from there..im starting my project tomorrow..i didnt get to go to the park today since it started raining and the park is a flood plain

Wow how nice of an offer! Will keep that in mind!

Beautiful wood ponderpaul. Love wood and rocks!

WOW that last piece is nice..i love the look of drift wood also but im looking to get something on the side of a river where the dirt has washed out of the roots and they are all hanging there so the fish can hide and it looks natural..thanks for posting up the pics..addy i love to make things rather than buy them to keep me busy..i do custom work on cars so working with fiberglass is second nature to me so ill have some updates soon

Once the vines die down we are going to explore our woods, that i still have not walked through. Maybe we will find some neat standing dead wood we can use.

The poison ivy has kept me out, but we are going to take our tractor and make a "safe" path for me.
