Drying out Bog Oak is the most important element of preparing this log. For more information try Adamson & Low (UK cabinet makers) They use this timber and it them took some years before they mastered the art of drying. Hamish is a brilliant cabinetmaker with an amazing CV. I am certain he would give good advice.It’s incredible how these guys still have all their limbs. I’ve never seen such bad chainsaw work.It’s actually amazing watching something so old being handled. It’s pure reverence.
