Nice thread Pirl, I have been a driftwood collector for years. I also bring home unusual shape branches and hollow logs for planting. In 1999 we happened to be vacationing in the Outer Banks N.C. during hurricane Dennis. After the storm Ric and the boys took our small 14ft boat out in Manns Harbor they came back loaded with driftwood. The boat was riding low in the water from the weight and the guys barely had a spot to stand in. One of the pieces was so large that they towed it in. Luckily our son in law had come down in his truck or we would never have gotten the load home. We kept the largest piece for ourselves and quite a few of the smaller pieces. The rest several large pieces were given away to friends and family.
Here is the largest piece which was towed to shore. It is 8ft long and 5ft high and 21/2 ft wide. We have it standing up in the yard as a natural sculpture.
