This is so impressive on so many levels. From a woodworking perspective, just milling, cutting and joining the wood as single 13m long pieces is amazing - bog oak is horrible to work with, it's prone to breaking, it's awfully dusty (the dust is basically coal!) and very, very hard. Also it's so beautiful. I hope I can see it one day.
Just as a point of interest, I made my wife's engagement ring from Fenland bog oak, because we live in the area. I still have some left but nowhere near enough to make a table for anything other than a doll's house!

What a mammoth project with such stunning results. Those river joints were done so perfectly. I would also like to see this one day!
