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.
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.
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.

I live by the creed of “measure twice and cut once”. The guy in the white ball cap loves to use that tape measure. Like the log is going to change since the measurement he took 10 seconds ago.
This is one of the videos they show at safety meetings where everyone with a shred of common sense sits around at laughs at all of the stupid risks being taken.
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.
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.
Not sure which saw you are talking about, but my Sthils have metal drive SPROCKETS, they aren't gears. Not knowing that puts my faith and interest in your comment pretty low
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.
"doesn't matter if it's a giant wooden tree! This plant is not crowded to harvest. It's dead. The saw marks are from dividing it to move. All things in nature have a limited lifespan, especially coniferous trees that are shaky and vibrating. According to the appearance of the bark and the amount of mud on this tree, this tree had been submerged in water for some time before being harvested. Trees that have been left dormant for long periods of time are prized for their roots - people literally hunt them down in the hope of making a small fortune. "
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 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 large amount of this wood, would be for officials who have turned a blind eye. It happens all the time, they make me sick. A majority of the Vietnamese are really nice humble people(rural peoples mainly)
Can anybody identify what kind of tree this might be? One of my clients in northern Maine has a fireplace mantel made from African Blackwood. Cutting or drilling this wood is almost like metal! In fact, i complimented him onhis black marble mantel and laughed! Extraordinary wood!

Only the poor have sandals, only the wealthy people have shoes
I prefer crocs during more dangerous situations 😂😂😂
This log remembers Jesus walking about.
So this tree was also a fantasist then?
I wonder if it was told the stories of Thor and Zeus from its grandparents since we’re onto mythology.
How can the timber remember something that never happened?
This must be expensive wood because of where it might come from. It must be ancient as well. Very pretty wood.
thanks my bro
My guess this tree is worth well over 100k
Woods what you walk through.... when it's cut down it becomes timber...🤔😂😎🇦🇺👌
The great lakes have logs that sunk during the logging era. Those logs now can fetch 100's of thousands of dollars....

That tree stump doesn't look like it is under the ocean to me.
Yuck
doesnt look like a stump either
wait at least some million years ahahah
It clearly wasn't. It's still got bark on it.
@@billsmith5166 why would it not have bark on it? and where do you see bark lol
Thanks for showing the products made with the slabs, I would like to see more of that and even spend more time showing it. SR

I agree 👍
recently cut down though
Who agrees that this is a teak log?
Brazilian rosewood

Maybe teak?

That was my guess.
I thought maybe a variety of rosewood. Whatever it is, it's beautiful wood!! 👍👍 Just picture a piece of that as your tabletop, wow! 😮
More like Brazilian rosewood
THAT IS AMAZING BEAUTIFUL WOOD.....Thanks very much from 🇺🇸
thanks my bro
Rosewood! That tree should be worth a fortune to instrument makers!
Looks like the stock that was lost in the 1800s

Would safety boots protect you from that log?

It’s beech. 😛

A million dollar log.

These must be the left overs from the trees that Noah had cut down for building the Ark.
Huge
Noah and his Ark were very real. He used Gopher wood according to the Bible. Researchers think Gopher wood was the Cypress of Noah’s time.
um, there was no ark.
In Oregon we call those logs!
:v lol
The grain is absolutely beautiful
That’s as good as it gets! Priceless

Amazing find. Love to be ble to find a qualify tree that large submerged for a century or so
That's beautiful.

Yeah I'm gonna need those 2 center slabs I'm building a mid evil fortress and have been seeking doors.

Are they trying to file off the serial numbers on that log on the ends?

are they bullets in the tree ?
The steel toe boots are unreal.

Does Paul Reed Smith know about this wood?

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.
What kind of wood is it
Gỗ cẩm có tên khoa học là Dalbergia oliveri, là một loài cây thuộc họ Đậu (Fabaceae)
Maybe sapele
Are you sure it wasn't the stopper ?
those trees look like they were massive... I wonder how much longer such trees will be around for given the demand for these tropical woods.
Looks like Belle wood from Cameroon if I'm not mistaken. Rare, hard and very expensive.
I actually have a slab with the same grain and sap wood patterns. Worth about R25000. 00. The tree was around 200 years old.
belle wood..right.
These are the trees from old ship yards back when ships were made of wood
