I call it bog oak,cause that's where I get mine. Co Mayo. Dried naturally for 20+years. From a peatbog.to the sander. It does split but it's natural. Dried in a kiln isn't black,it's More grey. I wish you could get some properly blackened. Yes its exciting wood.yes I adore it also. You do beautiful work. Fenland oak. Black oak Bogoak. Same stuff,same love of the wood.🏴😊👍🏴

The bog of allen is about 10k years old so most of the oak is pure black

Amazing. This is making me think of a dream guitar I’ve had in my head a while. Big oak and sinker redwood top. Tasty

What if I tell you, then ppl who dig black oak here in Serbia only earn 100-150€ per log, just because we do not have laborathory that can measure the age, so ppl from Germany and Swiss buy logs from us for such low price. Sry about my English xD

Tom, Neolithic Oak sounds like a wonderful name. Sounds a bit like that ceramic tile sound (at 8:25) we heard with that set of Madagascar Rosewood you were tapping the other day. I recently brought home a Martin D-18 Authentic 1939 Aged, that has some really nice Mahogany on it. It taps as nicely as you could expect, for a guitar that is already put together with hide glues. I'm sure that it sounded nice being tapped before they put it together. Very nice video, I'm enjoying your tonewood series.

Hi Tommy, just incredible to think of handling a material with such a history to it , I actually find it hard to get my head round it , keep the videos coming please it's my open university course, On the strength of your video I found an amazing documentary from Richard Durrant highlighting Hamish Low and the methods used to dry it and going on to show ( The Jubilee Table) Hamish made ,just awsome. It seems he is the man to source from , I have looked around and wonder how to be sure what one is buying with provenance, there is some Antique Oak out there that is fumed or treated as I understand it but what would be the point as this is poles apart, I am totally engrossed with your videos and Tommys Tonewoods is great and fun to watch , it's such an education, cheers Graham

You should name the guitar after someone/something 5300 years old, such as Ötzi the Iceman, a mummy discovered in the Austrian/Italian Alps in 1991.

Love the B4 & B5 sets - tonally, which do you prefer Tommy? Also - I have seen and tap-toned the denser black sets up in Avalon Guitars, however, there are some new sets there - very similar in look to the ones you have... these have more mid-browns in them = darker in the centre with lighter colouring on the outer sides/edges. What causes the colouration - from the denser black to the mid browns? Any thoughts Tom? Hope to get to tap-tone these sets next week:) K.

I don't know what I'm hearing. Rosewood responds super fast in the sound box and booms to me, whilst mahogany seems more compressed and mellow. I don't know if your black oak would rumble or be midrange mellow? I suspect the later.
