Bog Oak

[Mike Mossington]

I have a project which will require enough bog oak for 3 hidden tang handles. I have not found any at the exotic wood shops here in Canada. Anybody know where I might obtain bog oak?

Much appreciated.

Burl Source in US had quite a few pieces a little while ago...might be worth a try?

I have seen it online, at Burl Source, but I don't know if they ship to Canada. They have it listed under "Natural Wood Blocks."

I think they give documentation of carbon dating also. Very cool.

I bought some of it and it is beautiful stuff!! I highly recomend it! It came with a certificate showing the carbon dating performed.

Yes, Burl Source... but I already bought the prettiest piece he had...

I think he may still have some that is stabilized, too, if you prefer it that way.

Mark at Burl Source will ship to Canada, it is all stabilized and great stuff!
