I have a friend that is starting a wood working business. I would have him make something with lots of hide outs. Maybe even one for my frog. Do not say anything about buying wood that is in aquarium shops. That is too expensive. So, are there any types of wood that are harmful to fish and\ or frogs? Thanks!

I’d try driftwood. The best thing about real driftwood is that it’s free :]
I use driftwood I found down by the river. Once I have it home I wash it with water really good, then I put it on a piece of tinfoil and transfer it to the grill (An oven would also work) I leave it on the grill for half an hour letting the grill get to 400 degrees.
Anything left on the driftwood is now dead. I wash it off one more time and then after a water change in my tank I stick it in the tank. And your good to go. It takes time to do yes, but you should be happy with the result you get.
Good Luck
for frogs, they love coconut shaped, plished hiding houses. Fish, little hoops for swimming through are entertaining!!
Goodluck
Most petstores don’t sell anything that would be used in wood working, but if you can find any driftwood that is a good choice for an aquarium. Any wood should be fine, but make sure that you rinse it very well before you put it in the tank, otherwise you may end up with a huge algae problem.
I hope this helps!
if you live near a beach or a creek you can use the drift wood that is laying around
