Do you mean items made of bog oak or unfinished pieces of the stuff? I'm from Kildare, and from working on the bog (saving turf, etc) have accumulated a good few pieces of it, all in decent nick and very dry too.

If you were looking to buy for working on yourelf, get back to me. I'd be happy to do a deal as it's been a long time since I did it myself and haven't got the time these days, and better to see it go to somebody who'll use it rather than ageing in a shed

Oh I like that oak water feature! The fairy castle is cute too, what is it made of?

barry 1960 · 07-01-2013 12:35pm

Hi looksee,

Glad you like them ! the Fairycastle is handmade I make them from a mix of sand and cement and a pinch of fairy dust "

The bog oak or yew is natural of course I just tease the water up through them.

Here is another one
