8/26/20-Still
here hanging by a thread trying to get through the summer
chaos. Another O.M.G. piece
(PHOTO).
It should be priced higher, but, we do not have room for it and
is too nice to be here in the danger/chaos zone so it needs get
it out of here to a safe house. Just added a few other
from the same load to the
LONG/FLAT WOOD
section of the web site. There are several more from the
same load that are almost as pretty as this one. Will try
to get some of them onto the site before they are all
gone. If anyone wants to schedule a time to stop by and
look at them, let us know.

into a Large piece that can be shipped for about $100
less! It is currently listed under the
EXTRA-LARGE
WOOD section of the site. It
will eventually be moved the

2/16/20-Russell
Berry passed away last month. When all is said and done,
Russell will go down as the greatest
"driftwooder"
ever. Russell was the Muhammad Ali of driftwood.
Over his lifetime he pulled enough pretty pieces of driftwood to
fill the New Orleans Superdome. No one could touch the
quality that Russell was able to consistently produce. He
pioneered the driftwood business in the Outer Banks of North
Carolina. Russell Berry will always be the foundation of
what is happening with the business of driftwood. There is
Russell Berry pulled driftwood in the Piranha Exhibit at the Los
Angeles Zoo, on the Cruise Ship Grand Princess, at the Ritz
Carlton in Amelia Island, Florida. There is at least one
piece of Russell Berry driftwood in all 50 states in the
country. And, he did this up to the end of his 81
years. I am so lucky to have been able to know this
man. He was a full on character. A
one-of-a-kind. I will cherish the memories of bullshitting
with him at the picnic table at his
"camp," as he
called it. And, negotiating with him over a load of
driftwood at his office, which was the parking lot at the Manteo
McDonalds, while he at his daily Fillet of Fish sandwich.
Getting the phone call that I needed to hurry up and come and
see him as he had a
"Trophy" for me to look
at. Lot's of "
Trophy's" over the
years. Priceless memories. R.I.P. Russell Berry-The
Godfather of Driftwood

up. You peoples have been keeping us too busy to get them
all up. Lots of new studs waiting outside to get
photographed. It will eventually happen.

asked for small pieces for aquariums. We got them.
Just added (16) new small

Please note that these pieces do not have to go into an
aquarium! If you want them to have the gray/weathered
look, all you have to do is leave them out in the sun for a
month. Additional photos, dimensions, and pricing for
these pieces can be found by double clicking the

These were cleaned last weekend. When cleaned(pressure
washed) driftwood takes on the burnt orange/brown color.
Every one of these pieces will weather/gray after about a month
in the sun. Yes, they will. It is a fact of
life. It will happen. For those of you that want
weathered/gray driftwood, it will happen. In the grand
scheme of things, one month in your lifetime is not a very long
time. All of the gray pieces in this photo
(PHOTO)
looked just like the burnt orange/brown pieces after they were
cleaned. If you like the burnt orange/brown color, the
driftwood will stay that color if you keep it out of the
sun. Some folks like the burnt orange/brown color. I
do. I like the weathered look as well. Either way,
you cannot go wrong. Get these while they are hot!
1/6/20-O.K. folks, we have done a lot of
digging to try to figure out what is going on with the worlds
oldest web site. What we do know is that it it still
working with Safari, Firefox, & Internet Explorer. It
had not been working with the newest version of Chrome that came
out sometime right before Christmas. We have the worlds
worst computer engineer(me) working on it trying to get a couple
more weeks out if it before we overhaul everything. We
just deleted posts dating back to 2013 thru 2017 on this updates
page. That seems to have jump started things to where it
is working again with Chrome. So, that being said, enjoy
the worlds oldest web site for a couple more weeks. Thank
you for your dealing with the glitch over the past two
weeks.
12/23/19-Merry Christmas! Yes,
we are still here and we are taking Christmas orders. We
will be shipping orders as late as FedEx/UPS/US Postal will take
them.
We are also aware that the ancient web browsing
software for our site is not working with the newest version
of Google Chrome that just came out. We have to get
through Christmas before doing what we have been putting off
for years. Yes, we are going to launch a new site with a
browser that will be mobile and user friendly. For the
next few weeks you are going to have to deal with it. If
you can't get what you are looking for to pull up from the
site, e-mail us at getdriftwood@obxdriftwood.com
and we can send photos.
2020mantel96(PHOTO) (PHOTO)

to length specifications at no extra cost. The top shelf
will be sanded smooth as a baby's bottom at no extra cost.
And, we can add poly-urethane to the top shelf and sides at no

will be official that Outer Banks Driftwood will be in all 50
states in the U.S.A.! U.S.A.!, U.S.A.! Thank you
peoples!
7/28/19-This one had been in the
yard for months with the branches facing up. It was a
pretty nice piece, but it had been bumped out of the lineup(web
site) over and over again as there were lots of others that were
prettier. I went on a cleaning binge a couple of days ago
and drug it out to clean as it was filthy. This one took a
long time as it had obviously spent a lot of time in the mud on
the bottom. As I cleaned it, I did realize that there was
some high quality wood hiding underneath. After finally
getting the branches up side clean, I flipped it over to do the
other. That is when the beam of light came down from above
and revealed that this one was an "Oh My
(PHOTO)
(PHOTO)
(PHOTO)
(PHOTO)" Planter
Piece! Haven't had time to add dimensions and pricing to
the photos. Additional photos, dimensions(will be added)
& pricing are available by double clicking the
PLANTER
PIECES section of the web site.
This piece will weather(gray) just like every other piece of
driftwood if it is left out in the sun for a month. If you
like it, you better giddy up as this one won't last long....
7/27/19-Large & Extra-Large
pieces of driftwood from the beach are great for
landscaping. Here is one that ended up in Richmond,

5/8/19-Don't even think about

Wayfair. Or sneaking it it on your subsidiary
sites(Rexdixon/AllModern). Out attorney is watching

before the water warms up and fish start biting.

driftwood was just added to the site. You better hustle up
if you want it because it is a knockout. This piece along
with a half dozen others was handpicked from (4) boatloads of

3/3/18-Sorry folks about another lack of
updates. Been really busy here. We had a couple of
really large orders to go with everything else that slowed
things down. We really appreciate your patience when
things get like they have been. I think that we are going
to set up a driftwood battle between the Aquarium people and the
Mantel people. Winner takes all. Hard to keep up
with both of you. Hard to keep up with one of you.
Warning: If you need a
driftwood Mantel or an Aquarium piece, you are going to have to
be patient. I promise that we will eventually take care of
you. You guys have blown out most everything that is on
the site. Plenty of driftwood here on the lot to refresh
the site, but we are having a hard time getting to that.
Let us know what you need and we will work on that first
come-first-serve. Right now the Mantel line is at two and
the Aquarium line is at three. Those orders should
hopefully be on the road by Monday or Tuesday. Speaking of
Mantels and being on the road....
2014mantle26(PHOTO)

we will fix that when we can. In the meantime the site is
a lot easier to navigate with a computer. Put your cell
phones in your pocket and deal with. Go old school until
we get our bleep together. - Either way, we are
slammed here. Apologies go out to those of you that we
have been slow in filling your D-WOOD needs. You peoples
are buying it faster than we can get it the site. Plenty
here that is not on the site. We are doing all we can to
keep up. That being said, get them while they're

1/25/18-Folks, we have always offered you a lower
shipping price based on payment by check or money order.
This lower shipping rates excludes the credit card processing
fees that come along with credit card purchases. We do
this as a favor the help you save a little money. I like
to save money too. Don't think for a minute that credit
card processing fees are not figured into pricing with any of
your internet purchases. You are paying for them.
Most business just don't let you know that. But, with that
being said, we have had a reoccurring driftwood hostage crisis
here as of late. If you tell us that you prefer to save a
little $$$ and you are mailing a check, we take you for your
word, set the piece of driftwood aside, and we do not sell
it. We ship every day here. Shipping is a huge part
of this business. We know how long it takes for a check to
get here from the day you said you were "
sending it,"
from any state in the country. When you say the check is
in the mail from X state, we know that it will be here in X days
from that state. New rule. When a check does not
show up when it is supposed to, you will get an e-mail and a
phone call if we have your number. If you get this
e-mail/phone call and you have not mailed the check you will
have the option to make the purchase with a credit card that
day. If we are unable to make contact with you and you do
not get back to us that day, your piece will be sold to the
person that wanted to purchase your piece while it was being
held hostage. We have had multiple people wanting pieces
that have been held hostage as of late. We are
unbelievably busy here. That does not allow for time be a
check/money order bounty hunter. I hope you understand.

That would be Mother-Nature. No one can touch her
skills. If you are looking for Planter Pieces, let us

a section for them on the world's most outdated web site.
1/15/18-Can somebody say One-Of-A-Kind

Awesome job Scott!
Here at Outer Banks Driftwood, we do carry "Coastal Driftwood"
that is pulled from an inlet(Oregon Inlet) and a coastal
region(Outer Banks of N.C.) located on the East Coast. We
do not carry and sell wood promoted as "Coastal Driftwood," that
came from an inland river running through a major metropolitan
city that is not located on the coast. And, no, we do not
blow smoke at you pretending that we have some "Fancy Nancy" 5
step process of cleaning, pressure washing, drying, air blowing,
and bristle brushing our driftwood that supposedly sets us above
all of our competitors. We do own and occasionally use a
pressure washer, when needed, to clean driftwood. We do
this when requested or when a piece is covered in marsh
mud. Pressure washing can and will take away the
gray/white weathered look of driftwood that a lot of people
like. But, that being said, pressure washing can bring
back the burnt orange look to a weathered piece of Red Cedar
that others like. Whatever floats your boat. Just
let us know. And, if not done properly, pressure washing
driftwood can and will splinter the wood. A lot of times a
good-old-fashioned garden hose with a jet nozzle is the better
alternative. No, we do not use "
a specialty"soap
nor do we ever plan on using a "
specialty soap," as some
of these miracle products can and will discolor driftwood.
For drying, we normally we use the giant orange ball of fire in
the sky to naturally dry our wood, but at times we have to go
the extra mile. Our "
mechanical" drying technique
is...., yes the conventional oven that we use to quickly dry wet
wood(that will fit in it) for rush orders. We do not have
an special air compressor to blow debris out of the nooks,
holes, and groves. But, we do have an electric leaf blower
and we use it all the time on wood. It will blow anything
out of a piece of driftwood that is not permanently attached to
it. PS: It is also a good tool to use to blow water
out of your cell phone when you accidentally leave it in your
Blue Jeans and hear it clanging around in the washing
machine(this technique worked last week). Cell phone still
works! Bristle brushing? I am not even going
there... Anyway, also, there is no such thing as free
shipping. When was the last time the Post Office, U.P.S.,
Fed-Ex, or a Trucking company let you ship something for
free? We do not hike up the prices of our wood to sucker
you into an impulsive free shipping purchase. All that
being said, I am not implying that there is no pretty driftwood
that comes from an inland river that runs through a major
metropolitan city, as I know there is. I used to fish the
waters of The Potomac River years ago and remember seeing a lot
of pretty driftwood there. But, our wood does come from
the Coastal waters of the Outer Banks of North Carolina as
advertised. Folks, our goal is not to bamboozle you with
gimmicks into supporting a side hustle. This is a real
business, it is not a hobby. The goal here is to provide
people with some of the best driftwood on the planet at an
affordable price that is set to allow us to stay in
business. And, we work our butts of here to come through
for you. Enough of that. Look what the ocean
delivered yesterday
