I'm sure someone has posted on this topic previously, but the search
does not seem to work for me. I've seen Trever's article on making
pipes from Morta. It looks like an interesting material. My internet
searches have turned up nothing except a wood called Ancient Kuari.
Ancient Kuari is a fossilized wood from Canada. Is this a suitable material
for pipemaking? Does anyone know of a source for Morta? Is "bog oak"
the same thing as Morta? thanks, Scot

I'm not sure it's possible to buy Morta. If so, it's likely not readily available. Here are a couple of links:

You might check with Trevor Talbert:

I'm not sure he sells it, but he certainly works with it, and lives where most of it is harvested.
