1/9/23-Been wondering why this knockout piece of
Heart Pine
-2022dwlrg-0210(PHOTO)
(PHOTO)
is still sitting in the driveway. Just looked and the
photos of this piece were taken last January. Somehow we
forgot to dump it onto the site. Good luck for whoever
lucks out and get it. Had it been on the site, it would
have been gone a long time ago. The piece sites upright on
its own. Super-solid wood(26&1/4 lbs.) with all kinds
of character. It would be great as an Aquarium/Terrarium
Piece, as a Decorative Indoor or Outdoor Piece. We do not
come across too many pieces like this one.
1/8/23-A new transmission for our truck, all kinds
of work to our shipping van, and a bionic knee for Coco
(PHOTO)(one
of our fearless lot dogs) has resulted in nearly $10,000 of
unexpected expenses. So that means it is time to get BUSY
here. We need to sell, sell, sell! Lots of new
driftwood on the lot. Will be working hard to get the new
inventory onto the site.
BOMBS AWAY TIME!
O.k., here we go... Do not be scared, go for it.
Just do it already as we finally coughed up some extra $$ and
paid Go-Daddy to make this a secure site. Double click

into a Large piece that can be shipped for about $100
less! It is currently listed under 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

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.
1/1/18-Happy New Year! Driftwood looks
pretty in the snow. Yes, it is snowing

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
