http://www.manzanita.com or register at one of the planted tank websites (http://www.plantedtank.net or http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com) and look for a seller on there. Just search for manzanita and he should be the first thread you see on either.

Gil - I've never found anything interesting in the streams near my house. I've also been chased out of a creek by the New York DEP Police, but that was in a big park near my house.

If you have manzanita around your local area you can just collect that and cut it to your desires. I know we have tons around here and that is where I get mine. I just sanded it some and rinsed it in hot water, it was way too big to fit in a pot to boil LOL.

You might find some cool stuff down at Letchworth. I've been meaning to go hike that for about a year now.

Head to the beach if you're close enough. I've found really cool pieces of driftwood on the beach.

I just got back from the annual company picnic. This year we had it at a state park on Lake Erie. I saw some really cool pieces of wood along the edge of the beach. Some of it looked like that bucks horn stuff.
