Hand carved wooden jewellery with a Celtic / Pictish theme by Geoff King



N.B : Sizes show maximum dimensions of the carving. Due to the variations in colour and grain of wood and because each piece is individually hand carved it is possible that the actual item(s) received may differ slightly from the photograph. All are supplied in stylish reusable gift boxes.

Bog Oak & Amber Collection

The bog oak used for these pieces is from Somerset in England where it was preserved in the peat of Sedge moor (giving it the characteristic colour) until it rose to the surface after years of land drainage. It has been dated using dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) by The Queens' University of Belfast to approximately 2600 BC, i.e. over 4600 years old. A copy of their letter is supplied with each piece, thus making it a truly special gift. I am both excited and enthralled by carving such a material, which has been buried and waterlogged for so long and yet after painstaking kiln drying can still be worked like any other hardwood, albeit with a unique texture.

The trees from which it came were much slower growing than modern oak due to the cooler climate, thus producing a closer grained timber. Its submersion in peat over such a long period has led to the deposit of tiny grains of silica, which can be seen in places as minuscule white flecks. I also like the combination of colours produced by adding amber to some pieces - another material originating from trees, although much older - between 1-30 million years.

Keep checking for new designs.

After you have added your first item to your Shopping Basket and included postage, please choose the postage 'FREE' option from the dropdown box for subsequent items. Postage will then only be calculated once. This is because postage rates are shown are standard per order, so buying more than one item at the same time does not incur an additional charge.
