Collection: Ancient Bog Oak

Bog oak is a general term referring to partially fossilized wood.

Buried in the bogs, a fallen oak tree will stay safe from rot because Oak trees are naturally high in tannin, which is a natural preservative, and a bog is naturally low in oxygen. The combination of preservative, plus tannin being acidic, plus little oxygen equals a perfect environment for nature to preserve her treasures.
