The bog preserves the trees although the cell structure collapses. This makes the wood much harder and more dense than normal oak. It is very difficult to dry without serious degredation and has to be cut on the quarter to have a chance of producing sound wood. The process is very labour intensive and very wastful. Bog oak is one of the most expensive woods on the market, if you can find it!David Barronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618718370012866597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306427826258479906.post-66395362881518303802012-05-26T13:25:12.331-07:002012-05-26T13:25:12.331-07:00Not to sound to clueless but, is bog oak a type of...Not to sound to clueless but, is bog oak a type of tree or did it turn dark due to being in a bog?Frontier Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943729464934284498noreply@blogger.com
