Very Expensive Wood From 5000 Years Ago Black Oak | by  

Despite the season, these men are not cold. I'd love to see a follow-up video showing this giant being crafted into its various finished products.

Thank you for the knowledge of Bog Wood, I had never given it much thought. I am now very interested in finding a knife with Bog Wood scales. Thanks for a great video.

thanks for sharing a bit of history and science of the wood you work with.

It’s incredible how these guys still have all their limbs. I’ve never seen such bad chainsaw work.

I’d love to see a finished product. 😊

Quite amazing, thank you. I'm lucky enough to have some swamp Kauri which is approx 25'000 years old. Compared to this bog oak it looks freshly felled but that's deceiving. Put a chainsaw through it and you get the occasional spark and a very dull chain, lol.

It’s actually amazing watching something so old being handled. It’s pure reverence

Thanks for the nod to the archeological information that can be gained from bogwood.

Drying out Bog Oak is the most important element of preparing this log. For more information try Adamson & Low (UK cabinet makers) They use this timber and it them took some years before they mastered the art of drying. Hamish is a brilliant cabinetmaker with an amazing CV. I am certain he would give good advice.

Когда учился в начальных классах посадил 3 дуба. Сейчас им по 30 лет. Надеюсь будут долго расти.

THE WOOD LOOKS AMAZING!!!!! WOW! Love the video thumbs up, and thank you for your time.

love to see continuance on this wood with what they make out of it

Если действительное ему 5000 лет мне бы было страшно начинать с ним работу. Не могу даже представить какова его цена и изделия из него.

What a great session of team work! Awesome! 💪

This wood looks amazing 👏🏾

Классное дерево, много ручек для молотков получится 👍

Колір деревини класний. Жалко тирсу , щось би замутити з епоксидною смолою)))

Wonderful. For twenty eight years here in Australia, my business made tables from native hardwoods amongst which were Red Gum logs of similar ages also turned black. We used this for many years as inlays and decorative motiffs as it was very expensive.

The color is amazingly beautiful!

Wow, what a cool looking wood. I'd love a chunk of that to carve into something. Awesome video guy's 👍👍👍

Great video! Beautiful black oak, I'll bet it's difficult to dry out, 5000 years in a Bog. Looks $$$!

Дорогой дуб распускать цепной пилой?! Опилок не жалко?

Thats amazing…..it really is black….and HEAVY ! My impression in soaking up the minerals or whatever while laying in the bog, the wood appears a lot heavier than just normal oak. I can hardly wait to see what they build out of this.

Thank you for a fantastic video. Sawdust dust snould be preserved!!

Это как в кино, стреляют гильзами, а не пулями. Хотя нет, в кино стразу целые патроны достают)

Amador no manuseio da motoserra! Sempre que as extremidades do tronco estiverem apoiadas no solo, o corte deve ser feito por baixo, se o corte fecha e morde o sabre da motosserra!

❤✨❤ Yeah!! I just love when your RU-vid videos arrive! ❤✨❤

That long saw doubles as a good zombie weapon no doubt lol.

За ушки сразу подумал, а что пилу зажмёт новостью оказалось. Сцуко руки поотбивать.

Да, возможно я чего-то не понимаю, но скажите, если кушать со стола из мареного дуба, еда будет вкуснее? Или такой стол будет как скатерть самобранка? Дверь из такой древесины будет теплее и прочнее? Нахера люди придумывают себе идолов, на которые тратят деньги, которое, в свою очередь, можно потратить на что-то действительно ценное?

Incredible! That's a piece of history right there. 💎

The operator of that chainsaw is an artist!

Теперь я знаю как оставить клад своим внукам и правнукам, просто кинуть в болото дерево, и оставить координаты!!!!

Thank you for a fantastic video. As an amateur wood worker, I find the whole concept totally fascinating. I hope to see what they'll do with this outstanding material.

A stunningly beautiful tree! even sawdust can be used from such an oak! And it is a pity that the root was not used, at least it was not shown here.

It doesn't hurt to wear eye protection when you're working with wood particles flying through the air. Actually it's pretty cool to.

I love highly mineralized wood, but it goes through blades super fast

Love you channel ♥

Nice I have a Cris Reeve Sebenza 21 with bog oak inlays, how much is a log of that size worth? Must be a heck of a lot

Que belleza de trabajo esa madera se increíble, espero que la parte de abajo donde todos tuvieron que empujar la hayan echado una mesa se preciosa ya cepillada y con un cristal encima guau pagarían mucho x ella

That deep black looks amazing!!!! Would make awesome countertops!

Das ist ganz schön alt 👍Als Tischplatte wäre das eine gute Idee, dann hat man immer was geschichtliches drunter 😀

Only 2.000 years older than Toutankamon ? Great respect !

This stuff should go in a museum with the story of the area

I would be saving the woodchips & sawdust from this expensive log! You could make some cool stuff with resin!

Very amazing old tree for so long time that great good work

It wasn't floating its waS under the water, may be even buried. This preserved it. As a hard wood this is easier than softer woods. In the usa they have swamp Cyprus that they harvest for the same reason. In Australia in Tasmania we even have Huon pine and eucalyptus that is protected like that.

Его необходимо правильно высушить, а это должно происходить медленно и при определенных условиях. Если процесс сушки будет протекать слишком быстро, то из-за внутренних напряжений, в древесине образуются множественные трещины, что сделает её непригодной для производства

ИНтересная работа. Наверное музеи выстроились в очередь за столь редкими произведениями ваших рук.

Sgian Dubh. Meaning is Black or Dark Knife. The meaning of black/dark is “hidden”. These small knives were often concealed in armpits or socks.

This is like the biggest rookie hour I've seen lol

avec cette rareté, je ferais en sorte de garder la sciure et le pied,une fois découpé, je le retourne , le creuse pour mettre des fleurs dans un parterre à fleur ou sur mon terrain prés d'une fenêtre pour le voir tout le temps!! même simplement comme une sculpture!! un meuble fait avec ce bois doit être sublime, vous avez de la chance de l'avoir travaillé

Beautiful wood 😍

Wow...that is gorgeous!

My goodness ...this is unbelievable 👍👍👍 Lucky people to get this furnished.

I'd think if it's that rare you would want to use a band saw mill to reduce waste

That stump would make an amazing art piece.

My teacher once told expensive wood. Ancient black oak from Thames river used for finest spesial purpoces hundreds years ago by Londons finewoodworkers.

I have some strong doubts about that log being only 1 ton. I bet the stump itself is about 1/4 ton

Uma madeira nobre assim deveria ter sido beneficiada numa serra fita.

Amazing

bez osłony na oczy brawo !

If the tree can talk it has 5k years of stories to tell.

Some smaller corrections: "real" bog wood comes from high altitude bogs, situated so it does not have contact with ground water! The only water the bogs receive comes from rain, creating a very acid heavy water condition - the same tannic situation you have when preparing leather. These bogs are exclusive to Northern Europe. Sincerely, the Historian

Дуб классный! 👍

I didn't see a thing they were doing because I had to read the captions thru the whole video. All that info can be given at the beginning either written or narrated. Then let us watch the action.

Опилки этой древесины, не менее ценны , чем сама древесина

Que maravilha de madeira.

Красавчики!👍

I love all different types of wood. And have collection of mallets for woodworking. And of which the main heads are made from Old Victorian Bowling Balls as they have all stood the test of time because the wood used is the beautiful Lignum Vitae. Lignum Vitae incidentally was used as the “main bearings” in the QE2 Liner “ as there are incredibly hard wearing and self lubricating. I wonder what the smell of the wood was like when cutting the ancient Bog Oak. Which reminds me of someone I once met and he had a piece of very ancient piece of Walnut that had been dug up in Norfolk UK. It was twisted and silver in colour and then drew my attention to the rose-red sap like Amber which was oozing from a crevice in the wood. And taking out a lighter he then burned a piece and it was the most heady exotic scent that I have ever encountered.

Just a thought ... extremely rare, high dollar lumber, cold as hell, tree is iced up and frozen solid ... maybe afford a fork lift ... a decent band saw ... wear a mask / breathing device ... I just don't get it.

Greetings from Russia!!!You have very cool and very interesting videos!!!Thanks for that))))

Me gustaría saber ¿Cuánto cuesta cada tablón de madera que salió del Roble negro? estaría excelente para un comedor.

I have an Alaskan chainsaw mill and its hard work. I take my hat off to those guys cutting the black bog oak

Judging from your amazing chainsaw skills, cutting the log from the wrong side and binding your saw, and your dainty tape measure, good on ya. I'm impressed. Let me guess your all under 25 years old

Красота какая цвет ствола

This wood looks amazing

I had to stop watching when they started with the Alaskan, it almost brought me to tears.

Imagine Bog oak floors 5,000 years old...amazing!

Muito bacana esse trabalho, parabéns!

Forgot to mention the smell. The shop I used to work at took days to air out. It's pretty but man does it reek.

amazing woodworks

Дерево стоько не живёт. Оно где то было, в воде наверное. Чёрный цвет на любителя, не смотря на возраст.

LMAO did that dude just seriously try to saw through a floating log??? Bro...bro...brother...you never saw a floating log. You always support each side of your cut. But muh professional woodworker right?

What a beautiful piece of wood.

Absolutely fascinating!!! 🌳

"STOP THE CHAINSAW!" Safety does matter.. Sad to see people who work with chainsaws for a living NOT know what they are doing. First, you never start a chainsaw that way. Always hold the chainsaw with trigger firmly between your knees or step on it while on the ground then pull the cord. Second, it's ok to saw a log that is only supported on the ends if done correctly. Which is to cut down from top about a third of the way. Remove saw and put a wedge in cut. Then start cutting from the bottom and saw nonstop until you reach the top cut at which time the log will split without getting saw blade pinched.

I never saw furniture of this interesting wood 😲

Hard not to like it when the 080 comes out to play!

Unless these guys are gnomes, I think that tree was WAY longer then seven meters before they started cutting it up. As for all the negative comments, this tree fell into a bog a long time ago, and somebody found it and dug it out. This tree was NOT cut down in the present. So, slow your roll, haters! All that being said, can I have the stump?!

У меня на Украине был старый дом в деревне ему было лет 130 и мне нужно было забить гвозди 120 мм в раму которая была из дуба и я не смог забить больше 1 см это я пишу для тех комментаторов которые рассуждают что ребята не умеют пилить. Вы просто не понимаете что такое мореный дуб.

That is some gorgeous oak. I don't think I've ever seen bog oak before tbh. The grain color looks amazing, and I can only imagine how beautiful this wood would look sanded down, epoxied, sanded again, then polished to a glass like finish. I'm betting it would look amazing. I always thought of doing a petrified wood coffee table with matching end tables until I found out how much the pieces the size I'd want would cost. Needless to say, I don't ever foresee any petrified wood tables in my house. Lmfao

Very expensive Wood....very good... 👍🏽👍🏽😎

I once saw bog bodies in a museum , whereby bodies in a bog were found preserved after thousands of years with their skin still intact .

I'm just gonna say it ..these guys do not know how to saw ...they're a terrible terrible accident waiting to happen. I wish them the best but I wish someone would come show them how to cut logs before they end up in the hospital or dead.

2023 ГОД !!! 🤣🤣🤣 Бревно распилить не могут, а крестьяне в лаптях с кирками Александрийскую колонну из горы вырубили, отполировали, притащили, поставили !😂 МОЖЕТ ЧЁ НЕ ТАК ???

Beautiful wood. Nothing nicer than oak.

Saws as blunt as a butter knife ! Use the wedges as you go down on the first cut no kneed to use jack then !

Sorry to say, but these guys look like amateurs. They don’t know how to operate a chainsaw. Don’t know how to cut a log that size. No eye protection. Dangerous use of a floor jack and even put it under the wrong side of the cut for how the log was supported. Cut the base of the tree in the same wrong way. It’s a wonder no one got hurt! Not to mention, a log that heavy needs heavy equipment to move it around. All of that manpower was kind of silly.

Dangerous cut, low experience in chainsaw
