Ancient Bog Oak Sculpture — Hand-Carved Wooden Face from 5,000-Year-Old Wood

$270.04

This one-of-a-kind sculpture is hand-carved from ancient bog oak, a rare wood preserved in peat bogs for thousands of years. The deep, rich tones of the wood and its natural grain bring timeless character to this piece.

Shaped into a subtle, abstract face, this sculpture feels both ancient and modern, as though it holds quiet stories from the earth. A perfect statement piece for shelves, desks, or as a gift for lovers of nature, history, and handcrafted art.

Each sculpture I create is unique — shaped by hand to reveal the natural flow and mystery of the wood. This piece is part of a limited series of bog oak sculptures — no two are alike.

Material: Bog Oak (approx. 5,000 years old)

Finish: Natural wax to enhance grain and protect the wood

Care instructions

Most sculptures are made for indoor use and have a wax finish. This can be freshened with a smooth clean cloth and a touch up of wax applied when necessary.

Where are the materials sourced?

All the wood used in the sculptures in this shop has been sourced in Ireland, Tipperary if possible as that is where the shop is located. The wood is either taken from bogs and reclaimed land where it has been buried for thousands of years or more recent wood is from trees which have fallen or died. This ensures that the sculpture you order is as fully sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible.
