What makes Ghost Wood Ghost Wood?

Monkeyman Sep 23, 2003 10:42 AM

I'm really curious about this. What makes ghost wood resistant to rot? Is it from a certain species of tree? Is it treated with something? What makes it so special?

Thanks,
Mike

Ghost wood is basically just pieces of oak that have been sand blasted. As you may already know, oak wistands years of weathering so it's not as likely to rot in a vivarium.
