Everything you need to know about our driftwood pendants
You've probably heard of driftwood, but what is it really?
What is meant by driftwood?
Driftwood is a dead plant that has washed up on the shore of a body of water after having been in the water (fresh or salt) for a long time. A piece of wood can only be called "drifted" after it has been in water for months or years.
Taking the form of a root, Driftwood can come from branches or trees washed up on the coast, but also other wooden objects that ended up in the ocean such as wrecks, crates and pallets, etc.
How does driftwood take on its original appearance like an artistic creation?
Driftwood is considered to be a piece of wood brought by the river or sea due to wind, current or tides. The wood is sanded by the salt in the water, thus its colors and pigments are dissolved. The action of drossage promotes the loss of the chlorophyll system and the bark. At the ends, because of the wind, the wood becomes rounded.
It is sometimes difficult to determine the origin of the piece of driftwood because of wave action and erosion from large bodies of water. Wave action allows the wood to strengthen and gain a smooth appearance.
While walking along the beaches or along the river, you can easily pick up driftwood.
