About Bog Oak....
The bog oak used in this set has been sourced from the Fenlands of England. The story goes... approximately 7,000 years ago a rise in sea levels caused the rivers to back up and flood the East Anglian fenlands. The gigantic oak trees that lived on this land died standing, fell into the slit of the forest floor allowing them to be preserved in an oxygen starved environment. Fast forward to the present day and now the heavily cultivated farmlands around the fens often have the sub-fossilised oaks pop up to the surface. The process of drying the timber out is one of real skill. A slow process requiring an experienced eye. Typically by the end of the drying process a staggering 4 gallons of water gets extracted per cubic foot.
