Best wood for mounting orchids?

[smweaver]

I'm interested in mounting a few orchids, but want something that is A) long lasting (at least longer lasting than cork) and B) looks natural (for me, that rules out treefern). Has anyone used manzanitas branches (the kind that are sold as bird perches), driftwood (freshwater sourced) or douglas fir branches with any success? I would appreciate hearing from anyone who's had experience (good or bad) with any of these. Thanks in advance for your help.
