These are carbon dated blocks of 3400 year old Ancient Bog Oak that just came back from the stabilizers.
There are both standard sized knife handle blocks and extra large blocks that are big enough to yield 2 standard sized blocks.
This Link will take you to the Stabilized Bog Oak Blocks in the store
The wood these blocks were cut from was an old oak tree that was washed away in a flood in Ukraine about 3400 years ago. Over the years the tree was buried in the sediment where it was preserved by the water and sediment. As the tree lay buried it absorbed minerals from the sediment giving the darker coloring and a metallic luster to the wood.
Each of these blocks comes with a paper copy of the carbon dating test report.
