Sawing A Tree Stump Weighing 60 Tons // Wood Cutting Skills

[@ebarnes442]

I don't know what I'm more in awe of, the size of the stump or the fact that there's a readily available saw big enough to cut it.

[@luatmac]

yes. maybe you have never seen such a big tree. i love the earth. i love life. so i decided to be the one to record the giant tree stumps that were cut down. i want to keep their last memories so that everyone knows and forever remembers it as an immortal monument! on my channel there are many tree stumps bigger than this one! hope everyone will know more about it

[@williamcary8029]

Big massive tree. Glad you were able to salvage it and turn it into lumber. Ekop shows as a utility wood mostly used in plywood. I have not seem much with that kind of vivid color. Nicest slabs I have ever seen.

It may have absorbed some of the minerals from the water it was submerged in.

Insane figure. That stump had to 10-12ft diameter, absolutely incredible yall were about to slab that out. Based off the burn marks on the slabs, the stump had been sitting a long time, was dried out and rock hard. Stunning slabs.

Ekop wood is also known as Ekop Meyer or Ekop Zing, when imported to Vietnam it is often called go wood. This type of wood often grows and develops well in fertile soil, so Ekop wood is very large in size, but its hardness is not as good as Pachy or Gana wood.

[@williamickes3143]

I'd be happy if someone would just sharpen the Stihl for this dufis! This is brutal to watch!

[@kensanity178]

This tree probably grew slowly in its Las 75 years, so the rings are very close together, (dense wood) and it's completely cured. So that chain saw could be sharp, but it's like cutting steel.

[@MrMartinious]

Cutting against the grain will make even a sharp saw look blunt! But yes could have used a touch up!

[@luatmac]

:))

[@luatmac]

it was very hard sir

[@luatmac]

there are also cases where the grain is reversed which will make cutting difficult! but please note it is not completely reversed and we have sharpened the saw first

[@dianakirkpatrick620]

It is sad to think that when all these old growth trees are felled we will not see their likes again. I remember seeing a stump of Mountain Ash (eucalyptus regnans) that was around the size of this one. It was dragged out of a forestry area in Victoria, Australia. They are recorded as the world's tallest flowering plant and closely rivaling for height the magnificent sequoias of North America. It is good to see these workers getting the best value out this rare and getting rarer stump.

[@WezTexan]

In Colorado at the Florrisant Fossil Beds the have fossilized tree stumps as big as this monster. Every summer my Boy Scout troop would visit the fossil Beds on our annual 50 mile hike to Scout camp. We were lucky to have a neighboring property allow us to camp over night there. We always tried to get there in time to spend a couple of hours. The tree fossils both logs and stumps were amazing.
