Factory Monster // Biggest Lumber Project // 3000 Year Old Tree

In this video, we go to the biggest lumber project in the world: Sawing a 3000 year old tree in my hometown! This is the biggest wood cutting project I've ever been a part of and it was an amazing experience.
In this video, we'll see how we were able to cut the 3000 year old pine tree in my hometown with a saw. This is a unique and exciting project that will be remembered for years to come. Watch this video and see how a big lumber project is made!

Very sad to see an old big tree that still is full of moisture which means it was living being cut down and processed. Being a builder and cabinet maker I see and recognize the value in wood but old growth such as this should be protected for future generations to witness and experience.

why are you trying to commit crimes when the tree's life cycle is over

[@robertkaplan1146]

@@luatmac Hello. My question to you is a simple one. "Was the tree dead"? If it was, I think that it's great that you were able to use it's wood to create beauty from it's wood. The truth of the matter is that many governments are allowing the cutting down of big old growth trees after the Forrest's have been burnt and cleared.

All the CO2 used from the atmosphere is stored in the wood itself. So certainly a lot of mass there overall, but a relatively small amount each year. Often people misunderstand "removing CO2", like the tree is sucking it up and making it disappear.
