la bala Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 On recent posts bog oak has been refered to, for anyone who hasnt seen any, i have posted this pic of a stick head carved by my mate. Bog oak comes from forests fallen many moons ago, it is well on its way to becoming coal. My mate also fitted the antler handle and black buffalo pommel to the hunting knife fire forged by my hand.
