The Sutton Hoo Ship's Company: Cleaving a 6-tonne log (short version)

In this video, you will see Volunteers cleaving a log that was donated by the Blickling Hall, National Trust Site. The volunteers are using a traditional method to split the tree into halves, quarters, eights etc. The final count was 19 sections which will be used for planking in the ship.
The team are supported by the 23 Parachute Engineer Regiment, based at Rock Barracks, near Woodbridge, Suffolk.
