The wood is nice....the price is not.

Honestly, since I began to use collected wood, only a few pieces of driftwood I find in my LFS look attractive to me. For example redmoor can be something cheap and available everywhere, but compared to most of the wood found in the countryside, it looks a bit "tasteless".
The other advantage I have mentioned several times is that, for finding the best hardscape materials that perfectly fit in your layout, you need plenty of them. Have a look to Amano videos. For setting up a 90 cm tank, his assistants bring him tones of materials (translated into pounds, a fortune...). In other words, unless you are able to accurately design your tank at the LFS in a few minutes, your hardscape will be very much improved if you have much more material with you than you need... And if you don't want to spend a fortune, a good way to go is to pick your own

I'm doing my entire build on the cheap so buying driftwood is totally off the cards. Collected a load of candidate pieces in the local woods over the weekend and am currently soaking them.

At those silly prices that's probably a couple of hundred quid's worth!

Hmmmm, I smell a business opportunity here...;)
