Thanks guys. I find the live oak along the Carolina coast. Some times, at low tide, I'll wade under trees that overhang the salt water marsh. I look
for branches with no bark that have fallen into the marsh and been there for years. It tends to darken the wood in that environment.
I have to wash and soak them in fresh water to get the salt out.
