    The value all depends on where you are in the world. Teak, African mohogany, black walnut, etc are by far the most expensive in my area of the northwest US. Red cedar grows and ash grow on my property so it's cheap.

    In Thailand, teak, rosewood and maka are illegal to harvest without a permit. penalty: 1 year in prison. I was there and bought some old rosewood slabs that had been used by hill tribers for walking planks set upon muddy trails. I bought 4, each was 2" thick, 5' long and about 17" wide (variable). I used two to make a beautiful table. Up to 22 growth rings per inch. I also planted dozens of rosewood and maka seedlings in northern Thailand.

    The most expensive wood belongs to aqularia tree suspected to be capable of producing resin called kynam/kyara. The wood is priced at an average $500 dollars per gram. Again, PER GRAM. Even expensive and rarer that any gymstone like pink diamond or any mineral like platinum.
    The biggest recorded finding of this wood is 16 kilogram which was bought in an auction for over $30 million.
    Agarwood which is also belong to aquilaria tree capable of producing a normal resin is priced at $15.00 per gram. Again, PER GRAM. So akilo of it would reach $15,000. This is just an average price because a good quality of agarwood can fetch up to $100,000 per kilo.

    I love the video, though there is some discrepancy here. You stated that Dalbergia wood is the most expensive in the world, but African Blackwood's scientific name is Dalbergia Melanoxylon (part of the dalbergia Family). And I'm also surprised that Combretum Imberbe isn't on this list as it is a tree that takes 400-800 years to mature properly before the wood can be harvested.
