This live edge slab is 1200 year old bog oak recently found in the Dnieper River in Ukraine. It was in a 300 year old Turkish ship sunk by Russian soldiers during a war between the Russians and the Turks back in the late 1600s. The bog wood was thus sent back to the river mud for a second period of “pickling”. Even in those days this wood was of great value, as shown by the fact the Turks traveled so far to find it.
