Inside the Traditional Woodworking Process | From Tree to Finished Roof

Inside the Traditional Woodworking Process | From Tree to Finished Roof No steel. No concrete. Just thousands of thin wooden pieces standing resilient against decades of rain, snow, and freezing winds. In an era dominated by high-speed industrial manufacturing, the ancient art of hand-split wooden shingles (Schieferschindel / shakes) survives in valleys like Topla and the high Alpine slopes of Austria. How can a material as organic as raw timber keep a house completely dry for 40 years or more? The secret isn’t modern chemistry—it is cleaving along the natural wood grain. In this documentary, we follow the entire transformation from a fallen tree trunk deep in the forest to an interlocking, four-layer weather shield installed at dizzying heights. ➡️Original source / courtesy:    • Herstellung Von Holzschindeln (Deutsche Un...      • Producing Red Cedar Hand-Split & Resawn Sh...      • Yellow Cedar Barn Shakes      • Cotrol - Angola      • Vorarlberger Dacheindeckung mit Lärchensch...      • Herstellung von hölzernen Schieferschindel...   Music: Capture by #soundridemusic Link to Video:    • No Copyright Suspense Tense Music / Captur...   #woodshingles #woodenroofshingles #woodprocessing #rawmachines
