    I'm not sure what you mean by treated.He has a thread that shows how he cleans them up,and when I got mine,I let it soak in a 55gal barrel I had for around 3 weeks,changed the water once a week.m_picture1 287.jpg

    His wood are tank ready. I got mines from him let it soak in a barrow for a week or until the water is no longer brown. Here's the piece I got.

    Perfect thanks Bill, suppose I could have checked his sponsor section and found out, was just wondering if they were cleaned prior to shipping primarily, I obviously didnt expect them to be soaked yet.

    tom barr (barreport.com, plantbrain over on plantedtank.net) has really nice unique gnarled pieces (as opposed to the smooth stuff). He posts pics of each piece and you pay on receipt of the wood which is unusual these days.
