I found this on a nearby beach. I cleaned it with a brush, soaked it in boiling water (and left it for over 15 hours to remove the astringency), and then dried it in the sun. I think there may still be some sand and wood chips that I couldn't remove. Please understand this. I will send it as is, without protective materials, via Mercari Takkyubin. There may be cracks or chips during shipping. Please understand this. I have not treated it for use with living creatures, so please use it at your own risk. I think it's okay to plant plants in it. I am also selling many other driftwood items, so please take a look. No discounts, sorry. #Handmade materials #Ornament, interior #Flower gardening #Natural wood #Photography props
