it really matters what type of wood youre using.
some sink on their own, others dont. i have boiled a few pieces to get most of the tannins out, and a few i have just given a quick rinse and thrown in. i do a lot of water changes so the tannins never really get a chance to become noticable before they get pumped out anyway.
