..I would rinse, rub off any loose materials, soak, and then bake while still wet. If you don't want salt contaminating your viv's water, you may want to soak it for a while to get some of the salt out. Salt water driftwood often have little barnicles/other tiny creatures that like to live on it and if you don't clean it good enough then it may start to stink. ...ask me how I know lol

Free wood is awesome indeed. I get almost all of my wood for free. You can eve post ads online during tree pruning season to go and pick through people's branches they don't want. It's also a great way to make bird tree perches.
