@@bigeasy_f150 It would slough off. It's not actually the same stuff as wood. It's a protective layer like a wrapping. Are you actually laughing out loud?
@@MARYBOORMAN I don't think it's Paulownia. Paulownia is a softwood, light in colour and very light in weight. It's also one of the fastest growing trees, and when young can put on up to three meters per year. I know because I've planted three on my property in country Australia. And this time of the year, spring, they are covered in beautiful lilac flowers. The log in this video looks like a very dense and heavy hardwood.
Here in Houston last May 16 we had 2 tornados that came through the area along with a Derecho wind come through the West side of Houston. Over 10 big steel power transmission towers fell and over 950,000 people were without power. All the chain saws I have seen people use were the Stihl brand chain saws. The tree companies really depend on them.
if that was actually in the ocean it would be full of salt, and you wouldn't want any metal in contact with it. if it was in a river then that is another matter.
@@yota4004 Yes true~ Swamp timber. We have this in New Zealand - native timber such as Kauri is called swamp Kauri - well preserved in swamp but not in the salty ocean. Swamp Kauri is highly prized and valuable if you can find some. This is not rosewood it is Paulownia.

No, they are checking the PIf . In the US, it means the center of the log. / finding a spot on each end with similar grain and being about the same distance from the edge of the log. Thus the tape measure. Based on that the log is rotated to minimize cross grain cutting. .What's that? Cutting through one growth ring into another creating a weak spot where the slab can crack. You have to try and keep that blade folowing inside a grain line the whole lenght of the log.
My first guess was mahogany too. But because it’s held up so well after being submersed for presumably a very long time it might make more sense that it’s teak.
As far as I know, during an exploration in the Atlantic Ocean! Divers discovered it along with a sunken cargo ship and they salvaged it and auctioned it! Our owners spent a lot of money to buy it! In the salty seawater environment, the wood was completely free of termites and created beautiful natural grain.
Truly amazing section of redwood. I wonder how many rings? The ocean is a perfect preservative for wood. No oxygen for rot or deterioration of any kind! This log will bring a fortune for the right buyer $$$$
Looks like teak to me. Thought it might be mahogany at first, but once I saw the wetted figure and the end grain I guess teak. of course, there are a numerous mahoganies and teaks... Always loved making stuff from teak, especially machining teak, the way the teak has a buttery texture and the way it makes "crumbs" when routing edges.

I lived in Vietnam for 14years. Vietnam is so corrupt, there is no way that tree was in the ocean. I would bet that it came from up near the Cambodia border.

A little commentary with this would be nice. Where is this? What type of tree? Estimated age? Was it in the ocean? Was it in a forest fire - exterior looks charred. What does this typically mean. Destined for? And for what purpose? Slab tables? Just the basics would be very enjoyable to know.
I understand the practice of cutting slabs so thick. But you would probably make more money if they were cut to near finished thickness as opposed to beam thickness cuts. People are going to want that for furniture grade stuff. You’ll get much more from it if you cut it thinner and sell more of it off. Especially with such a tight grain and rare story.
I believe teak, with the medullary growth rings of the wood it almost looks like tigerwood oak. Teak tends to have a stronger contrast in tones with black striping of the timber grain, and tigerwood oak has a finer stripey grain.The workers appear all to be darker skinned orientals...like Indonesians (Burma, Laos, Thailand). The tidel of the video states "Tree stump under the ocean", which, indicated the wood was preserved in a brine solution and tropical hardwood decking, like Ipe, Cumaru, or Tigerwood, does not rot. Besides, it doesn't get damaged by insects or get saltwater in it. These are hard, dense woods. I remember Norm Abrams had a episode of finding and using antique cedar logs that were submerged in bogs and rivers to make some of his furniture. A good way to approach it would be to guest what region you believe the tree comes from...teak (?).

@@DantesInferno61 I said " white and orange and had a Stihl bar on it" . Can you read? Chinese working in china are going to buy a chinese saw. It's either a Holtzforma or a Neo.
I wonder if it has something to do with the drying process...less warpage and cracks due to a slower and longer drying period? Certainly, the wood would be cut thinner, eventually, when it's made into products.

Wow! Beautiful lumber … I’d love to own one of those slabs, but this operation is insanely dangerous. They don’t even give lip service to safety.
we have no concept of safety sir
Are those flip flops OSHA approved? 🤣
lol
Apparently, safety is paramount 😂
That wood would make for some excellent veneer....on high priced furniture, maybe, or cabinetry...
A little commentary with this would be nice. Where is this? What type of tree? Estimated age? Was it in the ocean? Was it in a forest fire - exterior looks charred. What does this typically mean. Destined for? And for what purpose? Slab tables?
Just the basics would be very enjoyable to know.
The sign on the wall said "safety is first" The way they were slinging those giant logs was terrifying.
We have been doing this for generations and God has protected us.
@@luatmac yep he's been giving you earth quakes and tsunams for ages. He's doing a great job.
Молодцы парни , хорошие работники .
thanks my bro
I understand the practice of cutting slabs so thick. But you would probably make more money if they were cut to near finished thickness as opposed to beam thickness cuts. People are going to want that for furniture grade stuff. You’ll get much more from it if you cut it thinner and sell more of it off. Especially with such a tight grain and rare story.
There's a log in a hole in the bottom of the sea
We get paid twice as much for cutting that thick sir.
lol lol
lol lol
@@luatmac then that’s makes sense. I stand corrected.
Mới nhìn hình giới thiệu , chưa xem , chỉ thoáng thấy người Việt là nhận ra luôn .
Vâng anh. Cám ơn anh ủng hộ em nha. Bác quê đâu thế
I wonder how much one of those center slabs sold for? Really beautiful wood.
about 8000 dollars sir. thank you very much for your interest
@@luatmac Gorgeous piece of wood, somebody is going to be very happy with that.
yes. thank you very much. wish you good health and luck
How old was this tree? Wow its big
This tree is only 1/8th the size of the biggest trees on the planet! I have many moments on my channel
The outside looked if, though, it was in a forest fire, not under water. Beautiful on the inside, though.
thanks sir
These are the trees from old ship yards back when ships were made of wood
and men were made of steel!
Great work 👍🏻
I believe teak, with the medullary growth rings of the wood it almost looks like tigerwood oak. Teak tends to have a stronger contrast in tones with black striping of the timber grain, and tigerwood oak has a finer stripey grain.The workers appear all to be darker skinned orientals...like Indonesians (Burma, Laos, Thailand). The tidel of the video states "Tree stump under the ocean", which, indicated the wood was preserved in a brine solution and tropical hardwood decking, like Ipe, Cumaru, or Tigerwood, does not rot. Besides, it doesn't get damaged by insects or get saltwater in it. These are hard, dense woods. I remember Norm Abrams had a episode of finding and using antique cedar logs that were submerged in bogs and rivers to make some of his furniture. A good way to approach it would be to guest what region you believe the tree comes from...teak (?).
Name: Cam Hong Wood
Scientific name: Kotali
Family: Bean
Group: Group IA
Cam Hong Wood
Cam Hong Wood, also known as Cam Lai, is a valuable natural wood today and is popular in the production of wooden furniture. Cam Hong Wood belongs to the Cam wood family, the legume family. Cam wood trees have a wide canopy, large root diameter, less rough bark and straight trunk. Cam Hong wood trees have a slow growth rate, so their lifespan when exploited can be up to hundreds of years. While green tall wood, vulture wood, etc. like to grow on hills and rocky outcrops with large slopes, Cam Hong grows in places with gentle and flat terrain, next to rivers and streams with moist soil, gray Feralit soil on sand or ancient alluvium, with a thick layer with good drainage.
Cam Hong wood has very fine wood grain, small wood grain, even and very beautiful wood grain. Cam wood belongs to group 1A, is a very rare wood and is strictly preserved. Cam Hong wood has a slightly pink color when raw, many large planks and the wood is as hard and strong as Lim wood but has more beautiful grain, very durable.
Looks to me that they did a little midnight wood taking from somebody else
Yeah, snuck in and put it in their backpack and made off with it. 😮
I was a little curious about removing the marks with the chainsaw 😂
lol lol
lol lol

Where are their safety shoes? Where is OSHA? The End.
We defeated the two greatest military powers in the world with only primitive weapons and no safety measures at all.
Is it as hard as morning wood, or more like wood in the evening?
:))
So Beautiful
“Under the ocean”, what do you mean?
Of course it's Vietnam! I worked there for a year in 2011 and NOBODY wears shoes 90% of the time! It's just their custom
Only 2 workers doing something. Why all the others hanging around on their phones?
because they are visitors to see the wood
Looks like Bubinga to me...
yes sir
That is a fine chunk of wood. The grain is killer,.. looks like Oak.
almost like tigerwood oak
It is eastern oak
:))
Beautiful wood
thanks sir
I can only imagine how tremendous the tree must have been.
you must not have seen the other videos on my channel! this tree is too small sir
You know who REALLY loves these videos? The company that owns STIHL chainsaws.
it was white and orange and had a Stihl bar on it. That does not mean it is a Stihl.
@@salvor1 maybe if it has STIHL written on it it’s a STIHL chainsaw. 🤔
@@DantesInferno61 I said " white and orange and had a Stihl bar on it" . Can you read? Chinese working in china are going to buy a chinese saw. It's either a Holtzforma or a Neo.
OSHA approved steel toe sandals. Nice to see safety being a priority at least…😂
lol
A 1x2x5 cost is around $40 usd just to give you an idea for what a slab would actually cost.
The bigger the wood, the higher the value, sir.
I wonder why they are cut so thick... must be near 5 inches or 125mm.....
I wonder if it has something to do with the drying process...less warpage and cracks due to a slower and longer drying period? Certainly, the wood would be cut thinner, eventually, when it's made into products.
so as not to be torn, sir.
Beautiful products

Stunning 🤘🏴
thanks my bro
