Unexpected surprise in a 100 year old ash tree 

During the late fifties, my family would regularly visit with my grandparents on Sunday afternoons. They lived in an old house on a big lot with lots of trees. There was an old tree out back that had a softball size hole in the truck, up about 12 feet. While the old folks sat on the big porch out front, talking about the "good old days", us kids would entertain ourselves "shooting baskets" by tossing the ample supply of rocks into that gaping hole. We did this well into the 60's. Many times I would be alone. The adults never saw us do it. It was fun hearing the rock as it tumbled down the long hollow trunk of the tree. Never thought anything about it until the Saturday my grandfather paid a man to cut down the old tree. This was a very big tree. The man made his initial cut to remove a large wedge. He got partway in, and his saw stopped. He had a heck of a time getting that tree down. It was filled solid with rock, clear down to the ground. Grandfather was swearing. The tree guy was swearing. My face was red as a beet. I confessed to my grandmother what we had done. She laughed and said, " Let's just keep it our little secret." She never told him. When they finally got the tree felled, it was unbelievable the amount of rocks that were in it. I can still hear gramps saying, "Who the hell would do such a thing?"

Встречал похожие кованные гвозди когда разбирал старые полы. Сделаны на клин. Принцип : пробивает половую доску, входит в лагу, из-за неоднородности дерева загибается, может просто в сторону уйти, может "калачиком " свернуться. Фиксируется капитально, только распил.

Absolutely fantastic axe chopping technique!!!

Wow, that is pretty wood!

That was certainly a gorgeous piece of timber, it would be perfect for furniture or anywhere slabs are required. Maybe vanity units also.

No problem to identify the exakt year, when the metal was penetrating the tree. If you know the year the tree was felled, count back the annual rings from bark to the metal object.

Отлично умеете работать.Попробуйте делать слэбы под углом, когда пила будет проходить полный диаметр годовые кольца замкнутся в эллипс. Вот тогда увидите всю красоту будущего стола.

Я живу в Калининграде, и раньше работал на пилораме, на ленточной пиле. Когда распускаешь дерево на доски, если видишь, что появляется на срезе синий цвет, уже знаешь, что в этом месте будет или пуля или осколок с войны. Чем ближе к осколку или к пуле тем пятно становится более синее. Заводишь бензопилу и вырезаешь этот участок синевы, что бы не затупить пилу. Была дома коллекция из пуль и осколков. Дерево тоже болеет от ран!

I suspect there is a lot of junk in trees, im at the other of the process, was planing some white oak for a built in and saw this shiny spot after it ran through. A lead bullet. Just left it there ,customer thought it was kinda cool. Thanks for the video

Amazing what you can find buried in tree wood. I have ruined my Stihl chain saw blades more then once on "virgin" trees. I trashed a brand new table saw blade, first cut on the saw as well as the blade ripping a fresh 2x4 from the lumber yard. Beautiful piece of wood though

I think this was an old horseshoe, re-forged to two pointed ends, to be used as a bracket/clamp. I have found several of such things in beams of my more than 100 year old farm house in France. At that time, people re-used everything - they couldn't just go to the hardware store and buy everything new...

We found alloy fragments in a 300 years old and 30 m high oaktree in our wildlife nationalpark in central germany a few years ago. This parts got clear identifeyed as wingparts from a P - 47 ,, Thunderbold" US Fighterairplane , crashed into the woods 20 km southwest from Hannover in the last days of April 1945 . This parts can bee seen at the wildlife nationalparks enterance center building.

You guys should make a book on these pieces and do the story of how you came across them!!..my father made me love wood and it’s incredible beauty!! Thank you for your gift…..and stories!! Once a wood worker……………..always it will mean so much………thank you!💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A spike someone had driven into the tree maybe 50+ years ago and then bent over, hence the large flat first piece, the bent over part, perpendicular to the straight pointed spike piece in the chunk they cut apart. Apparently one of many, it was a convenient tree for hanging things on or tying things too. I'd like to have a table made out of one of the slabs.

Beautiful slabs....

Wow - what kind of chain can go through metal like that and just need a little filing to bring it back? I’ve wrecked a few chains and even a bar on trees full of metal. No doubt they are special trees. Beautiful slabs!

amazing works

I’m impressed that the chain made it through that metal.

In New Zealand (Invercargill, Queens Park) some old pines were being felled, and in one of the stumps I investigated (on a whim) I found still buried in the freshly cut surface a huge pebble (size of my clenched hand) that the chainsaw blade had very very lightly just skimmed (operator probably wouldn't even have noticed, ear muffs and safety goggles etc). Took me a while (!) to dig it out with my swiss-army knife. Made me ponder, but no point in keeping it ... I'll have look later and see if I kept any photos.

Interesting thanks guys. Oh yeah and thanks for not using words such as "extreme" and "dangerous" in your video description.

Hello Belko guys! Always love when we get another video from you! 😁 That was a big piece of metal in that tree! Yikes! 😬 You need to use your metal detector on these and save some time sharpening your chains. God bless and much love from Mississippi, USA 🙏💜😊

When I was a boy -- a long time ago -- I found several .32 caliber pistol bullets in a block of pine while splitting firewood at the family ranch in Montana.

" - Древняя скоба, !!!! - Древняя скоба..." Хе-хе-хе.

Wow!😮👍

c’est fou ils ont un matériel de dingue. Les arbres ont des trésors centenaires dans leur tronc.❤❤

Хорошо сказал о том , что люди не задумываются о последствии своих дел для будущих поколений!

Well if that ash tree is ~100 years old (1923-2023), then sometime in its early years of 20-30 years old (1940s-1950s) drove those spikes into the tree.

Хоть скобы ужасны, ясень прекрасен👍

Блин!!! Кайфую какие слэбы пилите, красота!!!!

Ein wunderbares, schönes Holz. Für meine Familie würde ich ein Esstisch daraus machen lassen, da wir eh viele Echtholzmöbel bei uns im Haus haben.

I initially thought it was a bullet. In any case, an unexpected surprise!

То супер. Добре коли ми вікривпємо щось нове😢🎉. Дякую😮

Ich würde sagen, das ist Munition oder es sind Granatspliter aus dem WK2. Als vor einigen Jahren im Rheinland ein Sturm ganze Alleen umgeworfen hat und die Bäume danach zersägt wurde, gab es ähnliche Metallsplitter im Holz

Very perfect 🔥

beautiful wood!

HOW MANY BEAUTIFUL AND GOOD GUITARS FROM THIS TREE... (obviously, 😀🥰 🎸🎸🎸 after 5-6 years of natural "seasoning".

Впечатляет, здорово работают. 👍

Мы однажды фрагмент от ручной косы вросший нашли . Дуб был 130 см а коса в середине . А пули и осколки за сезон ведро .

Never knew xylem could be so exciting and a challenge!

I was a hardwood lumber inspector for 33 years. I have seen some pretty weird things that grew in to a tree. I guess the weirdest thing I ever saw was a #11 Victor steel trap grew in a log. Entire trap chain and all.

Beware of old trees growing along fence lines and around old farm buildings. Many a saw has been ruined.

In oak trees on the cambridge commons in Massachusetts you can still see bullet holes from musket fire dating to the revolutionary war.

Também abro toras c o gabarito e já peguei pedra, pedaços de vidro e prego já perdi a conta.Certa vez abrindo um cedro peguei um engate de rede.

Luar biasa keren banget

wonderful

A volunteer eucalyptus completely ate my schwinn stingray after we put it behind our shed, just half of the rear wheel and hub was sticking out, we found it when it blew over in a storm. Always wondered where my bike went.🤣 A friend of mine bought a property that was a car junkyard, they cleared it to plant walnut trees except the old oak with a tractor grown through it. It's really cool and about three feet in diameter with an old tractor stuck in it.

Parece raro que no se haya roto la cadena de la motosierra.

Царская скоба😁

물푸레나무는 단단해서 도끼, 곡괭이, 망치자루 만들죠.

Ну кто то лесенку на дерево сделал в свое время и лазил наверх. 😊

Hi.. I'm from Indonesia 🙏

Столетний ясень со скобой царских времён, дааа

Beautiful wood

Bagus sekali pak

жалко таких деревьев. Может еще бы 100 лет простояло. Однако, посчитали бы по кольцам, в каком году скобу забили?

Почему в ролике звучит древняя скоба если ясеню всего сто лет и если посмотреть по кольцам то скобу забили в дерево 30 лет назад ..период развала СССР

awesome!

I had a tree once that had been used forr target practice , or some one faced a firing squad😮

Металлоискателем надо проверять перед распилом, достаточно простого, как у охранников.

I was expecting the character from Harry Enfield to walk on whilst the tree was being chopped and say . "You don't want to do it like that ."🤣

Когда из тела 🌳 вылазят такие бяки ,мне аж не по себе,, Удачи Вам пацаны ✌🪓🪚🪵

Amazing and surprising, Looks like a claw but obviously made from metal. What was it?

Nice job

My grandfather ran a sawmill and would never accept a tree that had grown near someone's house, too many nails, spikes, etc. Can you imagine the damage to the equipment, must be valuable wood.....

доброе утро Белко Вуд!! Какой жалкий день для резки железа😂 Владимир точно несколько раз точил эту цепь! Насыпают ли опилки на плиту, чтобы улавливать железные опилки в процессе заточки? Юрий молодец на монтаже и на последнем кадре я уж думал, что полплиты сейчас упадут тебе на ноги, но ты быстро как кролик убираешься с дороги! Продолжай в том же духе, отличных видео и трудолюбия!! До следующего раза ваш друг из Висконсина США!

Gỗ đẹp quá

Lo que es sorprendente y incomprensible, ( desconozco el porqué) es como se puede talar un árbol de cien años. Cuando nos demos cuenta de que con el dinero no se come , volveremos a creer en. la Naturaleza.

Wow you guys are hard headed!! If I found just 1 piece of metal even half the size of what y’all cut through the first time that whole log would have been in the firewood pile… how do you justify destroying all of your chain for half a dozen slabs?

Good job 👍

I have seen a lot of glass electric insulators and the side pins they were mounted on grown inside of trees.

It was the famous "sword in the wood"... 🤣🤣🤣

excellent

Perhaps it was impaled long before, and as the tree grew, it enclosed it within itself. It is a forged nail.

Нехер было дерево губить, и сурпризов бы не было.

good job

В 97м пилил дубовую ногу стола...попался осколок от мины или снаряда.Эхо войны.. Новенькая ножовка Сандвик умерла и стала шпателем (реставратор мебели )

Do you use 1,6mm 0.404 chain for sawing those slabs or something else ?

Maybe this tree stood near a battle field of WW2. Then this are maybe shrapnels or something similar. I heard of cork oaks that damage veneer cutting blades in southern France.

Ага , идите к моей охотничьей избушке,там,в 60-ти метрах сухое дерево стоит,в 2 обхвате...,спилите и сосчитайте сколько пуль в нём ☺😂😱 Как я шутил...дерево и не падает,потому что "противовес" из свинца внизу ☺☺☺

c'est une balle ! comptez les stries pour savoir la date ...

Che bella musica motore di motosega bellissima

Wow banyak logam nya ya bos di dalam kayunya.bisa merusak rantai dong

Did you say, "Thank You" to the nice person who left the artifact?

count the year rings... relict of WWII,

Sering terdapat besi di dalam kayu-kayu yang anda gergaji.. yang sabar ya kawan..

das sieht aus wie ein geschmiedeter Nagel so 1900 oder früher der sieht schön eckig aus

I am impressioned even of the missing of fingers in the hand of these workers.

So that's the reason why the plug spanner doesn't work anymore?

und das ist eine überraschung 100 jahre altes stacheldraht , jung wo hast du gelebt

Нашли кащееву смерть в ясене😂

в севасопольском районе часто осколки в дереве

Unexpected surprise, wet water and dark night... What a.... never mind, beam me up, Scotty...

Shrapnel from war-time elements being shot off??…..leave some pieces in their places!!……sell it with a story about the wood! So exciting!! Fabulous!!…what does it smell like after you cut it??……great!!……please make a photo book!!💖💖

Da splendido materiale da costruzione a legna da ardere.

Vladislav gets a new chain i guess

Esche wurde früher für Bogen bau eingesetzt und war deswegen ein sehr wertvolles Holz.

If only the tree could talk.

Strong ass drill bit

Great video as always,never know what you will find inside of the trees,then I wonder how it got there,especially if the tree came from a field or wooded area.kudos.keep on doing what your doing and carry on.😎😎😎👍👍👍🪵🪵🪵

Добрый день белко вуд, сколько же стоит эта плита из дуба 80 на 800 на 1200 ?. Спасибо
