It is still possible to extract DNA from bones that have been in the water. The exact time I don't know but i m pretty sure it s probably more than one week.

If the blood is merged into the wood, and not exposed to water or sunlight so much, it is still possible to extract DNA from it. Probably even after more than a few weeks.
