'''Morta''': Also known as bog-wood or abonos, morta is a material cut from trees which have been buried in peat bogs and near-petrified by the acidic and anaerobic conditions of the bog for a period sometimes hundreds or even thousands of years long. It is valued for its very high mineral content and resulting resistance to fire. | |||
'''Mortise''': A mortise is at its most basic a hole cut or drilled to accept a smaller tenon and make a joint. The joint has been used in woodworking for thousands of years, and in pipe construction generally appears as a hole drilled larger than the airway and at the same depth as the stem tenon. Variations, however, are unlimited. | '''Mortise''': A mortise is at its most basic a hole cut or drilled to accept a smaller tenon and make a joint.
