Default Driftwood..DIY style

When i go to the lfs i can never seem to find peices that look the way i want them to.

When i go outside i see trees and bushes everywhere in my own back yard...

has anyone ever just gone outside and hacked off a tree branch to use as driftwood? i was thinking hard on this one today. you could use just about anything huh?

let the wood dry out first you say? i say stick it in the oven to speed the process along.

i have a thousand pounds of grapevine that i burn in a deep pit bbq i could dig through, but the word is that grapewood will gets moldy and you dont really want to put it in your tank. But, they have cool twisty, gnarly features that resemble tree roots underwater.

anyone ever tried the grapewood, or used dried wood found outside?
what happened?
