remodel for Dakotas home

I don't know the rules. Dakota is in a 55 gallon tank with a wicker type hide and some fake greenery. I hate the inside I have the bedding figured out with help from Infernalis .
Now I am working on the rest my husband is a wood worker so we have every type of wood I can think of stacked in a storage room and outside our house. He knows were it all came from most from private forest land. I quess my questions are can I use some of it to make hides and limbs through out the enclosure he has a piece of cherry that would make a awesome branch for her. I don't want to hurt her in any way I was also thinking of hollowing one out to make a bowl if that will work he has the ability to do any work I would need but just does not know if it is safe. Again THANKS for all who are helping I am learning a lot and hope I am not being to big of a pain. Nanna

For hide and branches it be fine. Just make sure you treat the wood either bake it or soak in in bleach water. I soak mine in bleach water over night for at least 10 hours. Then rinse really good and then let air dry, before using. As for a bowl are you talking a water bowl?

Ya I was thinking rough carving and then sealing it with food grade apoxy. I have such big ideas for her tank.
