Irish bog Oak on an Apprentice Gent fountain pen from Craft Supplies USA, with a Melamine Lacquer finish and in one of my 1/4 sawn English Oak boxes. Box is just buffed and polis C&C welcome.

These pens are made from New Zealand Bog Wood ranging from 600 years plus to 50000 years old.

Thanks for all the comments on an earlier pen. I was half way through making this one, so some of the feedback has been incorporated, some hasn’t but will be on the next one So - thread shortened, nib sunk further into the section. There is still the cut behind the barrel thread, I’ve tried to...

Full set of Mistrals in bog oak. This is the oldest bog oak I've used so far and it even had white streaks in the grain caused by minerals the oak absorbed over the years. The grain is very deep and has brought a lot of character to these pens. Made them for my brother in law and I hope he...

This is the second I've turned from a batch of bog oak but forgot to photograph the first before giving it away.:goesred: It turns well if a bit prone to splintering but makes your hands black.:ciggrin: On a Sedona kit finished with one coat of sealer and a couple of microcrystalline wax to keep...

Anyone have experience turning bog oak? This was like turning a lump of coal.

It's been a while since I've finished a pen, or posted, so here's two. Both for my Dads 70th this weekend, should make him feel a bit younger considering the wood is thousands of years older than him! Finished with melamine lacquer and matted with wire wool. Zeta in Gun Metal / Chrome with...

So my wife wanted a Bog Oak pen to add to her collection. I didn't want the usual pens out there so with Mr Flexi's help we decided on an Havana, quite short and stubby, 4 different size bushes with opposite tapers. Look better when posted. Anyhow she got it for her birthday and loves it ...
