This listing is for one unique snake head wand, hand crafted from Irish bog oak, then oiled to bring out the true blackness of the ancient wood's color. These wands are made in Ireland from bog oak taken from the midlands of Ireland. The wood is thousands of years old, and in purchasing one of these beautiful wands, you will have your very own piece of Irish history. Bog oak is a rare timber which is excavated from deep underground, usually as a by-product of turf cutting, or when bogland is drained for agricultural use. The wood varies in age, usually ranging between 2,000 and 6,000 years old. The wood has been preserved due to the unique conditions of the Turf bogs, which waterlog the wood and keep it free from oxygen and sunlight which would cause it to decay. The chemistry of the Bog also reacts with the wood and transforms its color, usually jet black, but occasionally a very dark brown. Your wand may vary slightly from photos as each is hand carved.
