driftwoods
Ocean-tumbled tree remnants
Driftwoods is the plural of driftwood, referring to pieces of wood that have been washed ashore by tides, currents, or waves.
While driftwood is typically used as a mass noun (The beach was covered in driftwood), the plural form appears when distinguishing individual pieces: We collected various driftwoods for the art project.
