Has anyone tried "making" driftwood?

I am thinking of submerging fresh tree stumps
in tidepools and let the salt water "cure" the
wood. How long should I soak it?

10 years should do it.

Then years is about right.

The earlier lighthouses were build with lumber that was submerged ten years
in salt-water tide pools.

Today some of these lighthouses are still standing up with the original
lumber.

This lumber treatment has long since disappeared and replaced with a quicker
treatment using toxic chemical.
