Lidded box. 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.
