English Bog Oak on Elm with Ash shaft - drop spindle

Quercus petraea
Sourced from the East Anglian fenland basin this stock of Bog Oak has been carbon dated to 3,300 BC so is in excess of 5000 years old. Logs are excavated from a sunken forest caused by a rise in sea level that started about 7000 years ago.
I have chosen to match these with some attractive English Elm.
Prices from £42
