At Celticbogwoods we craft unique Corporate Gifts/ Presentation Awards made from 5000 year old Irish bog oak. They include bog oak Pens, bog oak Flame awards, bog oak Presentation Awards, bog oak Clocks, bog oak Calendars, bog oak Pen Holders, bog oak Book Ends and bog oak Ogham Plaques with the recipients “surname” written in Ogham. Ogham is the earliest known form of the written Irish language.
