Great channel - we're fans of this and your other channel. Love the history in this episode and the connection with the Napoleonic wars. We're based in UK where my ancestors were wooden ship builders in Plymouth. During the Napoleonic wars they had problems getting timber from suppliers in the Baltic states, and consequently started trading with suppliers on Prince Edward Island. Later generations emigrated and settled on PEI and became prominent businessmen and politicians. It all started with timber! Looking forward to seeing what you do with this lovely old wood.

The original part of my house , floor joists, rafters etc was built in the 1940's. Lots of live edge timbers. I had a chance to talk to one of the brothers who built it, along with several other houses in the area. He said that he and his brother cut the timber, skidded it out with horses, cut it with a tractor powered saw. The timbers are so hard, you can not pound a nail into them, it just folds over. You have to drill a pilot hole and use a lubed screw.

Great video. Hunting old trees in the ancient rivers in the Deep South is popular but tough. Once harvested the sometimes loud argument about how to maintain the hundreds year old legacy of the tree/log gets heated. Most make it into furniture such as a table top, similar to your shelves. Really enjoyed your work-reminded me of home on some of the forever rivers where I grew up. Thanks!

Very, VERY cool video 👏👏👏👏👏 It included a little bit of everything from a brief history lesson, to boating, to finding a badass deadhead, to milling, to envisioning the cool ideas you came up with for the wood. So so interesting and cool to watch. I definitely vote for a video that shows what you did with the wood and what the final masterpieces look like.

I've seen on some of those logging shows that they find "Old Growth" logs sunk in areas where logging floats were done. Some of those logs were worth thousands of dollars. Being submerged in cold water made the wood grain fantastic,like the grain used in Stradivarius(sp?) Violins.

As a much younger man, I logged in southeast alaska and water was such a joy an now old, crippled up with arthritis and injuries from years past to the point now I can't walk at all,. I find myself in fear of water deeper than the bathtub. I would of enjoyed going with that morning and now just thinking about crossing a bay with log in tow... it is real scary. I would still enjoy the logging from the shoreline and milling this timber into fine lumber. I don't know just how pretty a lumber white pine is in its natural shade or coloring but I know that where the worms get into the logs will make for some real interesting boards.... do you find the "torrido bug" logs yet?

They are still harvesting standing Huon pine in Tasmania from when they flooded the valley for the hydro project. They dive and use hydraulic chainsaws from the boat. A decent tree can produce $100k worth of timber. Protected species now, The only timber available is reclaimed from the dams or breaking down old boats now. Probably one of the best timber’s in the word.

Loved that guys and found it really interesting. From what I can gather the old log proves the weather was much colder back 150 years ago. Hence the slow growth tight rings compared to the newer log. Brilliant vlog guys 👍
@fitterextraordinaire28563 жыл бұрын
I think the tight rings form when the woods is so crowed with trees that they don't get a lot of sun light causing the trees to grow slower. This log is probably virgin timber.

I have salvaged white pine logs that were submerged for well over a 100 years and was surprised at how it still had nearly the same odor as fresh cut. Lumber has a slightly different color and the wood between the growth rings is a bit softer than new. Used a scraper rather than sandpaper to get a flat surface.
