Bog oak (also known as fossil oak or Polish ebony) is not a wood species in its own right; it is oak trunks that have been lying in a bog or swamp for centuries (in some cases even thousands of years) and were found there. The tannic acid in the oak wood forms a compound with the iron salts in the water, causing the wood to turn a strong blue-grey to deep black color. The bog oak can be found in almost all of Europe, but most of the trunks are found in the river basins of central and southern Europe.
