Driftwood alternatives

[jgarden2000 at juno_com]

Would it be safe to use the dead twigs that blow into my backyard as
aquarium decorations if I soaked them a while first? I'm not exactly
excited about having to boil/bake them, if that's necessary. Would
certain species be better than others? I would guess that
evergreen/needle-leaves wouldn't be a good idea...

I want something less chunky and more branched than the driftwood I see
for sale...

TIA,
William
