Prehistoric Sinker Cypress Log - Buried 30 Feet Deep for 5000+ Years!!! - Part 1 of 2

[@tallyhorizzla3330]

In one of my old woodworking magazines was a story about a guy who acquired a 7000+ year old River Gum log which had been dug up from deep in the ground during a construction project. He said it was one of the hardest pieces of wood he had ever worked on because it had started to petryfy and contained silica in it's grain. He said you could see sparks flying when it was milled and he constantly had to sharpen his tools. Turned out beautiful in the end though,a nice hall table from ancient timber.

I reckon we could hear alot less of ur explainin,and see more cuttin. Damn Cooter you sure like the sound of ur own voice .

[@danapted]

Don't waste your time. This guy likes to hear his own voice. Can't run a chainsaw and dowsnt even slab the stump. It's just clickbait.

[@HOGRANCHgeorgegabriel9538]

I BELIEVE YOU ARE RIGHT

[@TBPollock]

Video wouldn't be so long if it weren't for the superfluous chit chat.

[@ianboard3555]

spoiler alert: you won't actually get to see the inside wood of the stump.

[@hanzlee203]

Too much talking...

[@benniebarrow348]

Less Yack’n and more whack’n !!!!!........really cool stump , get to it!!!!!

[@nashtvguy]

Way too much on cam talking and very little saw and show.

[@Jim-sh1zs]

I fast forwarded most of because of his incessant talking minutia. Also turned sound off because of that boring looped almost music.

[@Coole-ee1vg]

Mycket snack och lite verkstad, typiskt amerikanskt...

[@brucewayne2984]

Blah blah blah

[@jonduggan7433]

Definitely needs a lot less talk and a lot more action.

[@keithguidry2841]

At least you don't have to worry about nails in a 5thousand year old stump!

[@mattwiedenman3268]

Is it my imagination or is this dude his own cheerleader?!?

[@kensnyder9372]

You wouldn't need part two if you worked more and talked LEST..hu............

[@jbelme1]

Tell me if I’m wrong-I know this tree. It came from the excavation of a sewage treatment tank in Baton Rouge at Gardere Lane. It was 30 feet down, in situ, not a sinker cypress. The River buried it. It was exciting to see & I have a small piece of it. It was a little longer I think. You have the stump. There are thousands of buried cypress, from LSU south. It’s an entire forest.

[@LaGrandeBayou]

It’s very possible that is the stump your describing. Krantz in Houston specializes in ancient cypress and they sell slabs for the price of a sports car in some cases. LSU Campus is an old plantation site that was founded right where Pentagon Barracks are located. Your correct it’s an ancient place as evidenced by the 5000 year old burial mounds right across the street from Pentagon barracks. The LSU Lakes were in fact already an ancient cypress swamp. Huey Long had it cleaned and cleared in the 30s and created the “Lakes” and who knows what’s buried underneath the I-10 where it spans the LSU Lakes. You know why they call it Highland Road right?

[@michaelmorrison4201]

@@LaGrandeBayou I don't know why they called it highland road!? What is the meaning behind it?

[@ClaytonBigsby01]

Yeah I’m from Georgia but I have done logging in Louisiana and seen entire forests under the water

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

How did you aquire it? I'm surprised Louisiana let it leave the state.

[@revelatoryartist]

Great video THX

[@Rob-zn3qd]

you talk WAY to much man it was all the way to the end before you started cutting and then started going on about the burnt one ..

[@patrickgrandy6665]

U can sharpen it yrself just get a green wheel for yr sharpers

[@themise1416]

kind of surprised at the number of negative remarks - kind of like brigading.

[@mariesandlin2487]

Way.way too much talking. Will have to pass you by next time.

[@michaelmorrison4201]

None of the videos you said would be posted on this video showed up. Not sure if it's just me, but there was no links to the other videos. Just wanted to let you know.

[@jeffreyharrington5057]

Loose chaps are almost useless u need them tightened all the way down to your boots

[@Mike-du4tq]

It's a chain

[@ja1a100]

This is really a tutorial on how to stretch a seven-minute video into a 20 min. snoozer.

[@LilMOMMAson]

How was it found? Was some type of sonar used ?

[@tommiceli2449]

I’m sure they weren’t looking for it. Was probably found during a construction project and someone on site knew not to throw it in a dumpster.

[@tomparker9001]

I’m sorry dood but you are very long winded

[@mattlines8332]

Nice work. Same steps we take. I’m new to reclaimed sinker pecky cypress. My profile pic is sinker long leaf pine. I’ve got questions but not on an open forum.

[@jerrywoodlee2345]

Cole, when you jumped in that hole did I hear an unnecessary grunt? LOL

[@gatorfan3032]

Drags it out. To much talking. Boring

[@larryerwin5135]

Click bait

[@eddieforce3550]

Wow what a tree.

[@marcellino1956]

This gentleman looks like Harry Reams

[@DavidGrassSr]

Thanks for not showing it to us ?

[@ddilink]

Do we need to change the main saw blade to carbide?

[@debbiewedoe2564]

Unreal. Big job

[@JB-rr9ks]

What's the total estimated value? Just curious....

[@LaGrandeBayou]

Go the the Kranz website for an idea of what sinker cypress run. This particular stump was more valuable because it carbon dates to a much older period.

[@rayknight4756]

How old?

[@rayknight4756]

How old???

[@donnasharkey9034]

76

[@pennygretch]

Man, are you in love with the sound of your own voice?....I've burned more than 15 minutes of a 19 minute tape waiting to see something........GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[@brandonlamondin6228]

20 min video of talking. 1 min of actual work cutting... Skip to 17 min if you want to see the inside

[@markmitchell2794]

Little less chit chat , little more git at !!!!!!!

[@cathybenson5119]

All talk n hardly any action. Not interested in technical talk, just getting the job done.

[@anartistsrendition4386]

This is just one of thousands of pieces of proof, that there was a great flood. Get good with our Lord Jesus.
