Keepsake,
jewellery lidded box with pull out tray to reveal lower internal storage. Made
from solid quarter sawn 4500 year old bog oak from the Cambridgeshire fens. The
rare dramatic tone is achieved through painstaking cutting and drying over two
years. The tonal change is achieved by the natural process of how the tree was
submerged in the bog with the darker section towards the outside of the tree and
the tannins of the oak reacting with the peat rich soil.
