This piece of wood is estimated to be 3,000 - 4,000 years old. I put a piece off of the scrap next to it to show a before and after. This turned real easy, and has a really nice shine thanks to CA glue, micro mesh, and Hut polish 3, 2, and a little spray of 1.

I had a source for Irish Bog Oak a few years back and have been some pens from it, really is neat stuff.
Making sawdust mostly, sometimes I get something else, but that is more by accident then design.

Lovely pen Michael.
I love this wood. I have an artist's pencil turned from bog oak. It is my personal drawing pencil and I have turned down offers of $100 for it because of the beauty and rarity of bog oak. For me, besides the age of the wood, the most amazing thing about the wood is the grain.
Don't burn the wood, turn the wood.
