"When I decided to move back to Sweden it was mainly to get closer to my family. Little did I know we would create a business after just a month. In late June we stumbled upon my great grandads old belongings. Among all the pictures and sea maps we found something interesting. He would transport large quantities of oaktree in the eastcoast of Sweden. While doing this for years he kept daily logboo
ks were he would put down accidents, business transactions and the harbours he would visit to dock the wood. What we then realised was that some of these harbours had been there for as long as 700 years, leaving behind traces from a lost time. When the wood was shipped of it just so happened to be that a log or two would fall into the water and sink to the bottom. Now that’s when we realised that some of these harbours would have more accidents than others. And my great grandfather’s logs showed us where. The wood back in those days would be used to build warships for the king, as the noblemen would try to gain ranks. After doing some test dives we found what we were looking for. Bog oak, one of the most exclusive wood type available. In mid august, a pair of history was born." Johan, founder.
