I'll keep looking for grapewood in the meantime and looking forward to my first mount.

There's a ebay vendor that sells grapewood starting at around 5.99 and up not including delivery fees. They provide measurements and photos of each piece sitting near an ink pen for size reference.

There are also some area bird shows that you can pick some nice pieces up at.

Grapevine wood is the same as grapewood. The twists and turns make it nice for attaching chids and airplants. Very natural looking. I saw 1 LARGE piece that I would love to have but the price would be prohibitive for most of us. It already had chids and bromiliads attached and growing happily. Anyone living in California, and other areas close to Wine Vinyards can probably get ahold of some. They get rid of the very old non-producing plants. That's where most of it comes from, or so I've been told. Happy hunting:D

No vineyards here in Florida, just the nice weather to grow the chids.

You can also order it on line from the major pet stores (PetCo and PetSmart for two)

No good wineries around me and it's too far to drive to Moab or Idaho for grapewood so I'm glad that I can pop into the local pet stores. Keep hunting Swamper - you'll find some great pieces.

You are talking about grapevine wood? Its a creeper I
guess. May be big big logs available there.
