Discover our Ancient Bog Oak project blocks from Ukraine — a truly rare and historic material. These blocks are cut from oak that is more than 5,400 years old (circa 3400 BCE).
Whether you’re a professional woodturner or a hobbyist, Ancient Bog Oak turns smoothly, finishes beautifully, and offers deep, lustrous colour. Create a project that is not just functional, but a tangible piece of human history.
Is the wood really thousands of years old?
Yes! We had it verified here in Canada and each block includes a certificate confirming that the wood has been independently carbon dated in Canada by Université Laval in Quebec.
What are the dimensions of this spindle blank?
Each block measures approximately 1-1/2" square × 12" long. This size is ideal for a wide range of small turning projects including kitchen project handles, bottle stoppers, larger ornaments, pill holder and lighter key rings.
