Ancient Bog Oak pen blanks

Ancient Bog Oak pen blanks from Ukraine. This ancient oak is 5,400 years old (dating back to 3,400 BC). Blanks measure approximately 3/4" square by 5" long. Each piece comes with a carbon dating certificate. Carbon dating independently verified by the Université Laval in Quebec.

This is a unique material for its beauty and quality. The wood of this oak has been lying for thousands of years at the bottom of rivers or in the layers of the ground at the depth of three to seven metres, devoid of oxygen. Tannin, which remains in the wood, reacts with the salts of iron. As a result, the oak acquires unique physical properties: colour, firmness and longevity.
