To those who swear upon the fallacy of meritocracy, take a good look. These people are what innovation is all about. There's no SAT, LSAT or MCAT. This is the REAL WORLD, where true talent comes from imagination.
Amazing masterpiece my jaw dropped as i admired the skill and art work of the front door, i feel so child like with my power tools and not able to come close to the c skill of this people hand carving at its finest id say!!..
Thear people unbelievable working ❤
They are of mixed descent with the Javanese tribe in the NUSANTARA Indonesia during the era of the kingdoms in the archipelago Nusantara.
It can be seen from the way he builds a house, the carving motifs, the use of materials and the methods and motifs in woven crafts.
The similarity of language lexicon and the way they dress.
The way they store their crops is by using small house barns without stairs.
We used to do our milling the same way here in the USA.
The problem with this documentary is its title it says it's about wood, the masters of wood it says… this whole damn show is nothing more than watching this tribes culture it has nothing to do with wood I don't know about everybody else out there but I'm really sick and tired of these misleading titles
Slice must get some serious add revs.. More of them then the doc… Ffs😢
สมัยแต่กี้บ้านเฮา กะแบบนี้ล่ะ
much respect to these people…..the cutting of rosewood hopefully can go on for years to come….western man knows nothing about sustainability!…we should listen to these people.
This reminds me everything about v
my village country Tanzania.
No tape measure! They got skill !!
amazing
21:30 is such a beautiful shot
No thanks. Ill just go to b&q for my wood.
All you need to know about culture and society is that different cultures dont mix within one society
They prob dont exist anymore. Rosewood was cut to extinction i do believe
3 months for 200 Euros = slavery.
They give a great definition of family and family matters.
@09:00 it was basically a team building and kickoff workshop. manager explained the problem and they found abstract solutions and assigned the work packages between team members!

Sustainable wisdom. Cut a tree plant several in return. Cut clear cultivate a peice of land for food and livestock recycle feed and rejuvenate the land in return for Sustainable harvesting.🙏🏻👍😎
Amazingly so dexterous w/ their hands despite using those crude tools & seemingly possess a placid personality. These people made a favorable impact on me. Thanks to this doc., now I've obtained new insight into life of those respectful tribe in Madagascar. Many thanks,,,,,(08/22/23)
To anyone going through a tough time, it's okay to feel down sometimes. Just keep going, and I hope you find health, love, and happiness!
My ancestors were also craftsman live in borneo, living in the forest can teach u many things and always teach u to be down to earth…my father was a craftsman and carpenter and worked as a primary in the same time .i always remember him to be always careful with his wood work..
