12kg Bog Oak

[Wood4me]

Today for my 70th birthday I have been given a 12kg lump of Bog Oak! Probably a 1st for birthday presents . At the moment I have no idea what I will decide to make with it , it needs a lot of thought ! But hopefully one day I will post the outcome .

That's a beautiful lump of tree does that split on the right extend through the whole thing?

Hi Wood4me,
Well done happy birthday, I received my log a little a bit older (maybe 1/2 million older) for my birthday.

Yep, only just hanging on; so machined up a couple of faces to reveal the grain

Looking forward to seeing what you end up making from it

So easy to achieve a finish

Decided to start with the small section, not sure where this concept came from but though a simple design it was actually quite a challenge technically. But then that’s what keeps me working with wood …..

I love the finish that's achievable with Bog Oak...!

I made this from Bog Oak and Spalted Beech to store my mates ashes urn in.....Hopefully, he would have approved
