Summary

Description

Manilkara bidentata

English: Guyaneese log "bulletwood" in the Berbice River, Guyana. They hand-mill the logs into lumber on-site with chainsaws. The wood is valued for its durable nature: when asked how long it lasts, one man replied "Dunno, no one's lived that long."
Français : Bûcheronage au Guyana. Le bois est scié sur place à la tronçonneuse, à l'aide de guides, puis les planches transportées à dos d'homme. De nombreux bois tropicaux sont appréciés pour leur résistance : quand on lui a demandé combien de temps durerait ce bois, un homme a répondu: «Ch'sais pas, personne n'a jamais vécu aussi longtemps."
