A shocking find in an ancient oak stump 

A few years myself and my wife were saw up a large oak trunk for firewood. While cutting a slice I noticed fibers coming out with the chips. Putting it through the splitter we came across a silk handkerchief in lovely condition. Counting the rings it had been there since the 1830s so we'd like to think a lady placed it there maybe for a loved one to find but was never found. I still have the log and silk handkerchief trapped in the wood sitting on a shelf in my workshop

I have to say I watched this video from start to finish. I didn't find anything so shocking about what they found, nor surprising. But I'm going to say I did find the skill, patience, determination, and hard work absolutely outstanding. Not to forget the person filming. So steady and clear. I can just imagine the beautiful table tops that will come from that beautiful old stump and the excellent work that these men did. Thanks for sharing.

My Uncle was cutting up a massive Cotton Wood tree that was on an older bank of the Arkansas river near Las Animas Colorado. He had found id say up to a hundred spear tips, arrow heads , stone axes and pieces of iron, lead and brass. The area was going under an archeological dig and the tree had fell on the site. He hooked up a lumber mill saw to a belt driven PTO on his tractor and was cutting one of the trees trunks through it. After one slab was cut he noticed some staining in the wood. He took out a gouge and chissles and found dozens of huge lead balls, and a bit later some arrow heads. The archeoligist determind that as early as the early 1700's the most likely source of the earliest lead balls. The log was on display in a Museum in La Junta Colorado back in the late 1960's i believe

I always remember our neighbor boys finding a tree in the woods we all played on toppled over from a big wind we had. A metal box was tucked into the roots and came popping up too. They ran the box over to our house so we could see the box and what ended up to be money inside. They hid the box somewhere in a big barn near us so their Dad wouldn't find it. One day we got both our little yamaha's fired up with 3 kids each bike...going to the store to get ice cream. They took a few coins to pay. Our yamaha's could only go so far so we ran the rest of the way. By the time we got home the boys Mom was at our house. The store had called because the coins were worth more money than six ice cream cones. The Mom paid for the ice cream cones and took the old coins home. We kids in the mean time swore to not tell anyone else about the box. We all moved to different states and through a phone call my brother found out we all left that box in that barn LOL

I keep looking at those huge slices and keep thinking to myself, "those would make for some very lovely tables" Does anyone else agree?

Such stunningly beautiful wood!! God is Great to give us such gorgeous building materials! I must say the gentleman running and maintaining the saws is worth at least triple his weight in gold. His knowledge, skills, hard work, and determination are phenomenal! All these men are truly hard working, amazing men!! Real men doing real work is a joy to see!! ❤️🙏

I never realized just how hard one must work to cut into a tree or trees of this size. Nice work, Gents! Total bummer that both large rocks and metal, caused such big issues. Still doesn’t take away from your patience and determination, great video! I hope some beautiful furniture is made from this beautiful tree!

I don’t see anything shocking except the beauty in these pieces. I’m sure each piece will make a gorgeous tabletop

Два камня и ржавая железяка не такая уж и ШОКИРУЮЩАЯ находка. А за проделанную работу- респект.

You really like nice wood and appreciate it when you’re happy to sit here and watch 48 minutes of folks cutting up a big old stump. I enjoyed watching it and i wish i had a big enough piece to build a nice les paul style guitar out of it. That would be such an amazing instrument!

Какой силищи дерево было! Какой красоты! Вырастить такое века нужны! Не жалко было??

Столько труда вложено!!!!! А потом мы еще жалуемся, что изделия из такого дерева дорогие: так сами попробуйте!😂 Молодцы!!!❤

Я вижу в остатках корня очертание поверженного вепря и слышу его умирающий стон...😢Хочется верить, что это дерево отжило свой век либо было подвержено какому-то катаклизму и не смогло устоять. Пусть это будет продолжением его жизни. Мастер, конечно, асс. Приятно смотреть за его работой: чётко, размеренно, по хозяйски. Эта легенда будет иметь продолжение.У меня на участке- заимке тоже есть такие дубы и липы, которым не счесть лет. Находиться среди них не просто жить, а проживать в самой легенде. На нашей Земле мало осталось таких величественных духов матушки- природы 😢❤

Залипла на всё время просмотра. Бесконечно можно смотреть на работающего человека, тем более работающего с деревом.

I am so impressed with the diligence of these men!

Удиален сегодня своим терпением в просмотре, но материал очень интересный!.дай Бог этим работякам здоровья и успехоа !!!❤

Потрясающе!!! Я получила удовольствие, наблюлая за тем как вы работаете.... Отличная технология.... Вы просто умники!!!! Золотые руки. Куча спилов для поделок (столешниц ++) . Респект!!!

Once upon a time, I had to shorten a large spruce stump. First cut with chainsaw, ruined chain. The only way I could take 10 inches off was with axe, splitting maul and metal wedges. This was very near the beach in Oregon . This tree grew up with round beach rocks inside it like raisins in a cake.

Fabulous work you do. Thanks for sharing it. I would love to have seen the tree that stump was from! What an amazing history it had. Clearly older than our country. Amazing.

I enjoyed this enormously! It took me to my childhood listening, and watching my Dad saw wood❤️. Miss u Dad❤️

Ювелирно работает парень в оранжевой куртке столько умения и мастерства.Интересно кто он по профессии.Просмотрела ролик от начала до конца и любовалась его работой.Слов нет молодец дело мастера боится .!!!!Браво.!

The trunk of that tree is so huge and the inside of the tree trunk is awesome graining. I worked in a wood furniture factory and I am in awe of the graining of that tree. That would make some awesome furniture.

Респект и уважение молодым людям, которые так аккуратно работают. Очень приятно смотреть! Не важно что там нашли, важен сам процесс, молодцы! ❤

This is really meticulous strenuous work. The wood rings are beautiful

Ой, ну находка (камень в дереве) прям ШОКируюшая 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️. А чтоинкльнт шокирует, так это то, насколько это дерево древнее и очень жаль, что его больше не существует, как дерева.

Tears😢for the tree it was. Respect to the men for their tenacity.

Thank goodness for the fast forward button!

My dad worked as a lumberjack and he would take us with him to cut down trees I can still remember the smell of the wood as he cut into them. That was 75 years ago I love the smell of wood. So many good memories. RIP Dad ❤

Knobby knees as hard as iron. What a beautiful and magnificent work of Mother Nature. Absolutely stunning grain patterns. A work of art by itself.

Сколько красивых вещей из натурального дерева можно сделать!!

ОЧЕНЬ ТЕРПЕЛИВЫЕ ТРОДОЛЮБИВЫЕ И УМНЫЕ МУЖЧИНЫ !❤ БРАВО!❤

It's so tragic to see such a magnificent old tree cut down.

Жалко, что погибло такое старое и огромное дерево 😢 Оно же было здоровое, не трухлявое

God bless you guys for all the hard work you do, not to mention dangerous.

Awesome work. God bless you all. I ❤❤ yall

Такой пнище, да ещё и дубовый, очень тяжело пилить. Плюс ещё находки - инородные предметы, которые вросли в ствол и корневище дуба. Я увидел два камня, приличной величины и какая-то железяка, торчащая из пня. Ребята, вы молодцы, здорово потрудились, благо есть сопутствующие инструменты и всякие приспособления, которые хоть как-то облегчают работу. Спасибо 🙏 вам наиогромнейшее, за ваш нелёгкий труд. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

The real unsung hero of this video is that Stihl chain saw. Freaking SOLID piece of kit !

I’d love to have this and make tables, headboards doors, …. With Polly on them. Staircases , and dressers, people are doing beautiful amazing things with wooden tree stumps these days. This is my dream hobbie

You have to admire their tenacity!!! They kept at it no matter how hard it long it took!!!❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤

Как приятно смотреть как работает мастер своего дела,браво,первый раз вижу такие пилы они такие большие😃👍

Боже мой всё у вас есть и потрясающие инструменты и мастерство нет только преклонения перед величием природы

Professionals harvesting a 2 to 300 plus year old tree being salvaged, simply increadble! 😮😉☺️❤

I’ve never seen a contraption like they were slicing that stump with, much less the patience that they were using. Beautiful stump! What stories that tree could tell.

I'm from halifax Nova Scotia and growing up no sawmill would take a tree from halifax and surrounding areas. It was the site of the halifax explosion Dec 1917. Pieces of shrapnel from the ships and everything else were lodged into the trees and are still there waiting to ruin a bandsaw mill blade!

A learning experience on how cutting large longated timber . I really enjoyed it . Thanks to all who made this available for the public .

Warched on 5 seconds, then came to comment. Why is this man not wearing safety goggles?

You certainly work hard for your money! You deserve everything you can sell that wood for. Not a job for lightweights for sure. Your determination is off the charts! Good job!

Мой друг также пилил дерево и прямо внутри дерева нашёл конскую подкову довольно старую, мы её очистили и повесили над дверью как сувенир, она примечательна именно тем, что вросла в дерево!

Beautiful wood. Can’t wait to see what is made out of these pieces. There is beauty in everything God has created. Thank you for saving such a treasured tree. Great job from America.

Bravo Monsieur pour votre patience et l'attention que vous portez à vos scies ainsi qu'au chêne qui ne se rend pas facilement encore bravo

Вот такие же трудолюбивые ребята мастерски истребили секвои и каори.... 👍супер!

Какая силища и мощь в этом дубе. С каким трудом его распиливают! А не простояло ли это дерево ещё лет 100- 200😅

😂2 оаза хотела боосить смотреть,но интересно ,какой финал будет .ьакие столы видела ,красивые,и пида молоддеец дуб тяжелое дерево.удачи вам😊😊

I owned a small sawmill in the 1970s and one day we were sawing quite a large soft maple log -- about 24" in diameter. In one cut we hit something VERY hard -- with a big BOOM! The entire sawmill shook. It was a full-sized steel axe head buried completely inside the tree. It must have taken a hundred years to completely grow over it.

Дерево было настолько уникальным в своих размерах,что я очень не хотела , чтобы его уничтожили,человек везде главный,всегда жалею ,когда у нас пилят самую красивую ёлку на новый год ,для кремля,ведь она могла радовать людей ещё сто лет,но нам это не важно.

What was shocking? No, it was amazing!

A nature work of art! The tree withered the seasons of the years. Carefully trimmed from this beauty, the gentlemen handled this matter with passion.Would love to know where the pieces ended.🍾🍾

I can’t believe how beautiful it is. I’ll bet there’s thousands of woodworkers drooling all over their screens right now!

I had a number of scrap logs of Redwood that were on my land after moving into a new house. A guy with a Sawzall came and did a fantastic job. Only one bad thing. In a nice 7' (short) 24" log that yielded nice lumber for me, he found a RIFLE ! Someone had leaned the old black power on a Redwood tree and likely died before getting to it. The tree grew around it. Stock wood gone but the steel was there and cost him a blade. That was a find ! So was yours.

I’ve never seen such a huge chain saw. Beautiful art!

Shocked by the discovery at the base of an ancient oak tree. Nature always has a way of surprising us. Can't wait to dive into the details! 🌳😮

Прожила 77 лет, а такого чуда не видела. Благодарю, ВЫ мужчины настоящие с золотыми руками и умными головами. Браво парни!

Good to see there are still hardworking men out there doing things of this nature

Чудо какое!!

Хотелось-бы посмотреть на этот чудо-дуб когда оно ещё стояло на крню, и как это пень выкорчевали. Мужикам респект и уважуха за такую работу 👍👍👍🙋‍♂️

Хороший, не гнилой пень, дерево на вид было живое. Жаль не говорят откуда оно м что с ним было не так, ведь вековое дерево это вполне заслужило((

Impressive work. Nerves of steel and the patience of Jobe. 💕💕

43:54 wie er immer wieder in den Schlitz guckt^^ um den Störfaktor zu entdecken 😂

That was cool as hell to watch, veteran right there

What an incredible find and what a glorious tree this must have been. Look at the rings on each stump. The history that happened as it grew. Whoever buys furniture made from this tree will have history in their home.

Sad to see an old groth die. Thank you for bringing use and beauty out of death. Amazing work!

The design in this tree wood its so beatiful

Three trees grown into one? That’s cool!

I would love to have seen this tree in it’s full glory. It must have been a sight to behold.😊

Как мне жаль, что исчезла с лица Земли эта красота, его мощь, желуди, ажур его листьев, тень, укрывающая в жару спутника, и просто древнее, шикарное дерево, к тому же вовсе не порченное...😢 😢😢

It’s amazing to me the measuring and calculating and Jerry-rigging this guy did to get this stump cut down!

Smooth move there handsome!😮 That looked like that hurt!!! That stump is absolutely amazing....excellent find darlin and the slab you cut last when you hit below the belt showed you all had your work cut for ya!! I'm watching the entire segment.....got to be worth it...."huh?"😊❤

Какая тяжелая работа, так может работать только молодой физически выносливый человек👍

Sometimes I wish videos were longer & now I wish this video would get to the reveal faster!..🥱! However, the beautiful hearts of those 3 trees that grew together is keeping me here!..🧐!

They worked so hard!

What a beautiful table with resin

Ну и работёнка.Мальчишки вы герои Опилки мусор тяжесть.Браво.Удачи в вашем нелёгком труде и очевидно в хобби Процветание вашему каналу.

Never seen anything like this before. Amazing. What a dangerous labor. God bless and keep you safe . Art supplies the hard way to come by them. Awesome. 😮😊😅 The equipment is huge.

Oak table is nice inside a house, good job!

Оно мне надо? Мне уже77 лет, но, поражённая работой мужчин, не могла оторваться…

Очень очень красивый пень! И такой древний...И этот кусок старого железа...Сразу ум начал рисовать картины прошлых веков...фантазировать о людях, когда то живших и чувствующих себя хозяевами этой жизни. О нас тоже кто то когда то будет так же фантазировать... Наверное 😊

I am absolutely amazed and enthralled watching this young man do his magic with that gigantic oak stump! WOW!

Hello gentlemen, I'm writing to you from San Diego, California, USA. I have a thought that might help you if you might want to consider it in the future. I see you guys pounding the heck out of wedges. Here in the United States, we have something called the jaws of life. Construction companies use them, and fire departments use them. This might be a viable option in the future. Since you do so much of this operation for your livelihood I watch your Channel all the time I think it's fantastic I'm old I'm disabled now but I remember when I was young like you to be able to do those wonderful things. Enjoy your life gentleman while you still have it while you're still young. Blake Dremin Yes my grandfather was born in Russia he was a great architect and spoke nine languages

Какой крепкий дуб был! Дерева давно нет, а пень, как кремень стоит: и пилится с трудом и разрубить невозможно. Как жа погибло это дерево, если пень такой крепкий?

Я такого терпения и спокойствия еще не видела). Я восхищена!

ЕЛЕ, ЕЛИ ХВАТИЛО ТЕРПЕНИЯ СМОТРЕТЬ НА РАБОТУ ТРУДОГОЛИКОВ, НО ШОКИРУЮЩЕЙ НАХОДКИ НЕ УВИДЕЛА, МУЖЧИНЫ РАБОТАЛИ КЛАССНО, МОЛОДЦЫ, А ЧТО НАШЛИ НЕИЗВЕСТНО, ВСЕМ УДАЧИ❤❤❤

Я тоже смотрела .мне очень понравилось Настоящие мужчины такие терпеливые не то что у меня муж.спасибо дай бог вам силы и здоровья .. привет из узбекистана

Mesmerizing! So clever to use a ladder to keep the cuts level and even!

Да упорства и упрямство Вам не занимать.БРАВО!!!!❤❤❤Жаль что пришлось расколоть этот красивый пласт.

It's amazing watching guys working so hard.

Ну вы мужики герои, столько сил, терпения, упорства. Я весь час смотрела и думала, что уже бросила бы и начала рубить😂😂😂

Cortaron un árbol milenario y de una madera muy buena ,para hacer muebles magníficos ,es impresionante lo grande que estaba esté árbol milenario .😊

I found this absolutely fascinating, what beautiful workmanship.

We lived next to a golf course for many years. We had several old Cedar trees that needed to be removed. When they cut the trees down the stumps had golf balls inside of them where they were hit into the tree and fell down into the branches. Over the years the trees grow around the golf balls. When they were cut the stumps had half golf balls left in the stump. They appeared to look like boiled eggs cut in half.

Now that's serious dedication
