        Bog oak is the name given to oak trunks that have been lying in moors or swampy areas for centuries or millennia. Due to a reaction of iron tannins inside the trunk, the wood discolors and hardens and changes its physical, chemical and structural properties.
        Due to its characteristic color and properties, bog oak is a sought-after wood, for example for pipe makers, who use it to make high-quality and expensive pipes. Craftsmen also use bog oak as veneer for furniture, musical instruments, paneling and other things. Bog oak is popular with artists who use the subfossil oak for their work. Due to its rarity, bog oak is in demand and commands high prices. Prices vary greatly, influenced by the age and condition of the respective piece.
