It is not easy to transform the tree into slabs, but the guys have their equipment made to complete such a task. With careful measurements and focused work, the oak tree will be cut into pieces in just a few hours.

As the guys worked on the big tree, they noticed that its middle part seems a bit different. The color is not just hues of brown like any other oak tree. Instead, some specks of black started to come out as they saw the tree slab by slab.

After cutting a few more slabs, the guys start to notice that the black matter starts to become more and more pronounced.

It was unusual, but the work needs to be done so they continue on and were eager to find out what was causing the discoloration in the tree. Could it be something unbelievable?

It took a few more slabs before the guys suddenly felt that the last slab that they are sawing through won’t separate from the tree trunk. Something was stuck and they had to know what it is.

The woodworkers pulled on the slab with all their might to reveal what was underneath.

It turned out that a metal bar was inside the tree. The pointy end of it was poking through the sawed-off portion of the trunk, making it difficult for the men to remove the slab that they just cut. The metal was the source of the discoloration.

The spike appears to be something that was once near the oak and as the tree grew, it was embedded in it and has been there since then. It can be a part of a fence or something that was purposely placed in the tree and forgotten.
