Handle – bog oak. This wood was part of the foundation of a medieval bridge and was worked by people around the year 1305. I obtained the wood legally from the head of the archaeological team as leftover material intended for disposal. It is fascinating that this piece of history did not end up in a landfill but could live again as a witness of the past.
