Ukraine Ancient Bog Oak Pen Blanks – Over 5,000 Years Old

Dive into history with our premium Ukraine Ancient Bog Oak Pen Blanks, sourced directly from ancient oak trees preserved in Ukrainian riverbeds and peat bogs for millennia. These extraordinary blanks are crafted from genuine bog oak (also known as morta), naturally darkened over thousands of years through a unique mineralization process where tannins react with iron salts in oxygen-deprived waters.

• Age: Approximately 4,000–6,000+ years old (carbon-dated samples commonly range from 5,000–6,000 years; some certified up to 6,040 years).
• Color & Appearance: Deep jet black to rich dark charcoal brown, with subtle grain patterns, rays, and occasional silvery flecks that emerge beautifully when turned and polished. Each blank is unique—no two are exactly alike!
• Turning Properties: Dense and hardened for durability, yet turns smoothly with sharp tools. Takes a high-gloss polish exceptionally well (great with CA finishes, oil-wax, or friction polishes). Perfect for creating heirloom-quality pens that feel substantial and luxurious.
• Dimensions: Approximately 3/4" x 3/4" x 5" (standard size fits most pen kits; slight variations may occur due to natural material).

These blanks transform ordinary pens into timeless conversation pieces—imagine gifting or selling a pen made from wood older than ancient civilizations! Rare and limited supply; each piece carries the mystique of prehistoric forests.
