Abstract

Bog oak is a valuable irreplaceable natural resource. Bog oak in its structure, chemical, physicalmechanical and species properties differs significantly from ordinary oak wood. In the process of being in a humid environment for thousands of years without access to oxygen, it is transformed into, exhibiting amazing species properties and texture features of the surface when sawing it into lumber. Depending on the location of the bog oak and the duration of the cycle of being in a new environment, the tannins contained in it react with iron salts and give an exotic, variable color. The soft tonality of the color of the annual layers, especially on the tangential cut, creates an amazing picture, which greatly contributes to the creation of exclusive products from bog oak wood. This publication analyzes the results of research on bog wood by scientists from around the world and the Republic of Belarus over the last 100 years, and examines the leading work on the extraction of bog oak at the Trans-Center enterprise in the floodplain of the Sozh river. The results of research conducted at the Belarusian State Technological University on the development of a methodology for the extraction, drying and storage of bog wood, and the determination of the properties of bog oak are shown. Methodological materials on the extraction, drying and storage of round assortments of bog oak are considered, the age and species differentiation of bog oak is determined, as well as methods for protecting bog oak from bio-damage.
