Ask the seller is the only way to know.

I saw one a little while back about NZ swamp kauri @ 50,002 yo. Turner said it was 50,000yo two years ago when his family gave it to him!

I wouldn't go Russian into using it, just in case.

I see he's waxed the end grain so he's not even sure. :U

Two things about Bog Oak.

1. It's a term not a definitive identification. In all actuality it could be any wood that has lain in the peat bog for 2000+ years. I've even had what I think I identified as Yew, now that was different.

2. It splits like crazy as it dries. Good for small items, pens, bottle stoppers and a few other trinkets maybe even a pot lid but don't expect a big bit to become a large hollowform or similar.

However it does turn quite well but gritty dust when sanding.
