Ancient Bog Oak pen blanks – 5,400 years old, carbon dated in Canada

Discover our Ancient Bog Oak pen blanks from Ukraine – a truly rare and historic material. These blanks are cut from oak that is more than 5,400 years old (3,400 BCE) and each one includes a carbon dating certificate independently verified by Université Laval in Quebec.

Each blank measures approximately 3/4" square by 5" long (perfect for most pen kits) and carries unmatched history, beauty, and character.

What makes Bog Oak so unique?

  • Ancient origin: Preserved underground or under riverbeds for thousands of years, in oxygen-free conditions 3–7 metres deep.

  • Distinctive colour and hardness: Over centuries, tannins in the oak react with iron salts in the soil, producing rich dark tones and a hardened, durable structure.

  • Rare and collectible: Each blank tells a story spanning millennia, making your handcrafted pens true conversation pieces.

Perfect for pen makers

Whether you’re a professional turner or a hobbyist, Bog Oak pen blanks offer:

  • Smooth cutting and finishing properties

  • Deep, lustrous tones that polish beautifully

  • A unique selling feature for handcrafted pens

Create a pen that is not just functional, but a piece of history you can hold in your hand.
