Depending on the timber age, which often exceeds the Egyptian pyramids age, palette of colours ranges from silver-gray, through golden-brown and dark claret to navy-black.
Bog oak is a rare timber, which makes it greatly exclusive, valuable and desirable. It is called Polish ebony, but in fact the bog oak is much more precious than ebony.
A large number of manufacturers use the name of natural bog oak in spite of the fact that their products are made of ordinary oak stained and antiquated artificially.
None of the artificial methods of staining and antiquating oaks, even the most sophisticated techniques, cannot provide effects that would come close to the ones created by nature.
Bog oak has been present in our culture for many hundreds of years. It has been used for floors, furniture, as a carving material and for manufacturing small objects (e.g. smoking pipes, handles), and also for incrustation and marquetry. Remnants of its presence can be admired until today in the mansions of former magnates.

Natural Bog Oak

Fossil timber which due to natural processes has been buried under water or wet soil and remained in this environment from several hundred to a dozen thousand years.
The environment characterized by permanent humidity and lack of air allowed the timber extremely good preservation and facilitated additional unique properties. It is the result of chemical reactions in long "maturing" timber: tannins in bog oak interact with iron salts present in the environment (soil/water) and activate the change for black colour, while depositing and crystallization processes of mineral substances cause much higher bog oak density in comparison with the ordinary oak timber.
In practice natural bog oak gains beautiful colour and is supremely hard and durable.
