Just like high-quality wine, peat is made for work in art and design. In order for the material to have the required processing properties, it must be dry and stable just like wood.

Cut a layer of peat in the bog and prepare it for drying on the field. The drying process takes at least 2 years. Peat requires a special drying cycle in the peat bog, barns and indoors.

In the peat library, the material is sorted according to the degree of drought. At present, peat blanks that have been stored for up to 12 years have been prepared in the workshop. This type of peat has acoustic properties - it sounds just like naturally dried wood. This fact inspired me to make a musical instrument from peat.
