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.

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
@@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 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)
I don't think their were soaking it down as much as they were washing off dirt and debris. The dirt can dull the blade as well as, potentially, be dragged across the wood surface causing addition marring during cutting. Just my thoughts.
Sandals, loose clothes, no safety glasses clothes or hats, smoking, women and kids wandering around, unsecured load safety's, standing on wood being sawn... Is that enough or should I keep going 😂 Mfers HAVE no OSHA in Thailand lol
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 (?).
I have no idea of what that wood is, but it is gorgeous, and will probably go into tabletops for executive suites. Nice to see the organized workers, much like we had in America before the tree huggers killed the industry.
I can't believe someone is smoking a cigarette around that super fine sawdust. You ever see a dust fire? You don't want to! And why are all those civilians walking around in the work area?
My wife's from SE Asia. Beautiful loving people. Walk past a river, are there crocs in there? "Oh yeah." But kids are swimming in it? "Yeah." Um, gee isn't it dangerous?" I am from Australia btw. "Yeah few get taken a year, but you know, kids will be kids." Oh right. 😮😯😲😱😮 I just showed her this, she nodded and laughed and is having a baby this week. Oh for the love of sweet baby Jesus. I said will that be ok for our baby? She said "In the river, no. " I said so why is it ok for them. She shrugged said "No idea." and went back to Facebook. I can't explain it.

This log remembers Jesus walking about.
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
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....

I agree 👍

One of the first things I took note of, too. Hilarious.
Would safety boots protect you from that log?

Looks like Bubinga to me...
Does Paul Reed Smith know about this wood?

Yeah I'm gonna need those 2 center slabs I'm building a mid evil fortress and have been seeking doors.
Are you sure it wasn't the stopper ?
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.
Good to see the workers have top class protective gear on 😒😒

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 😂
The grain is absolutely beautiful
are they bullets in the tree ?
The OG of the tapered Werner ladder. 😎
I wonder how old that tree was? Wow.
if you count the rings right quick its about 349 years old
@@blizzardesigns. I can’t count that quick or that high 😂
If I have to count past 10, I need to take off a shoe.
That's not a stump. A stump has roots connected to it. That's a trunk.
Amazing find. Love to be ble to find a qualify tree that large submerged for a century or so
The sign on the building says “SAFETY FIRST” under the name of the company. Hahaha.
looking at 15-20 tons of wood
At a $1000 a foot, it got me thinking, how much veneer could you get off a chunk that big?
How old is it?? Could be thousands of years.
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.
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.

There's a few bob of timber there. Some form of rosewood maybe.
Looks like cocobola rosewood to me, it’s definitely not mahogany to much grain.
to bad you guys didn't count the rings on the tree, find out how old it was, looked like you did in the start of video, it's not in description
Now that’s some old growth . I wonder if rosewood is an endangered species of tree
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.
Almost looks like apitong.
Is that teak, acacia or some other hard wood from where ever
Does look like Teak...

How are they breathing under water?
Smoking around sawdust!
How many carved elephants could you get out of that log?
How long did that sit out and dry? A year, or more?
Shame to not quarter saw or rift saw
This tree trunk looks like it was cut at some point, and if it was under the ocean, how did they recover it, how they discover it.
What’s the age of a tree like this?
These are the trees from old ship yards back when ships were made of wood
and men were made of steel!

drying wood 1" per year it should take 10 years for each of those slabs to dry
I'm sure they use a kiln
Maybe sapele
Beyond belief
Didn’t see a stump
wow!
That’s no stump!
28mins and no tree stump!!
Who originally cut that is my question
Erased historical progression, to make ritzy titzy tables for yuppppies
That's a log, the stump was left in the ground.
So... um.. why use a big chainsaw to remove painted on markings?
What was the reason of soaking it down? Why are y'all cutting it so thick?

Mfers HAVE no OSHA in Thailand lol
What species of tree is this
Slice a steak for me, 4" thick center cut.
Wait they found this.e in the ocean !
Anyone know why they are watering it down ?
To Show the grain, and clean the dust off
I would imagine to get the dirt off to save the blades on the cutting machine. That would dull the blade if left on.
Multiple reasons, as the salt water evaporates they want to get the salt off it, sand, saw dust will get everywhere. You want the wood to dry slowly.
Looks to be Bubinga or one of the Guibutria species
Some beautiful species shown in the later part of the video. Species from Malaysia have their own looks for sure
Any idea what kind of wood this might be ?
Cottonwood. lol
Logwood.
That looks like Cypress to me
If was in ocean would have been eaten by worms after a few years, lake would still be ok.
@brucebaum1458 It is most probably Teak which is very highly resistant to rot and worm damage.
