The value all depends on where you are in the world. Teak, African mohogany, black walnut, etc are by far the most expensive in my area of the northwest US. Red cedar grows and ash grow on my property so it's cheap.

Agarwood which is basically an aquilaria tree (found in Southeast and South Asia) infected by a particular type of mold is by far the most expensive of them all. It is the only wood I know that's being sold per gram.
@youngguns4755

I agree.
The most expensive wood belongs to aqularia tree suspected to be capable of producing resin called kynam/kyara. The wood is priced at an average $500 dollars per gram. Again, PER GRAM. Even expensive and rarer that any gymstone like pink diamond or any mineral like platinum. The biggest recorded finding of this wood is 16 kilogram which was bought in an auction for over $30 million. Agarwood which is also belong to aquilaria tree capable of producing a normal resin is priced at $15.00 per gram. Again, PER GRAM. So akilo of it would reach $15,000. This is just an average price because a good quality of agarwood can fetch up to $100,000 per kilo. Thank me later!

When speaking about the precious timbers most of the people including the authors of this video think of the woods from the rainforests in various tropical areas. In fact one of the most expensive timbers on Earth can be found in Russia, a Karelian Birch wood.
In Thailand, teak, rosewood and maka are illegal to harvest without a permit. penalty: 1 year in prison. I was there and bought some old rosewood slabs that had been used by hill tribers for walking planks set upon muddy trails. I bought 4, each was 2" thick, 5' long and about 17" wide (variable). I used two to make a beautiful table. Up to 22 growth rings per inch. I also planted dozens of rosewood and maka seedlings in northern Thailand.

I love the video, though there is some discrepancy here. You stated that Dalbergia wood is the most expensive in the world, but African Blackwood's scientific name is Dalbergia Melanoxylon (part of the dalbergia Family). And I'm also surprised that Combretum Imberbe isn't on this list as it is a tree that takes 400-800 years to mature properly before the wood can be harvested.

Combretum Imberbe (leadwood) isn't all that attractive. I bought one BF of it back in the 90s for bracelet making. It was extremely hard and heavy, but the bracelets I turned of it sold slowly. There has to be a strong demand for the wood to make it expensive.

Most of these woods do not come from sustainable sources and contribute to the cutting down of both the Amazon and African jungles and highlands. If you buy any of these woods you might as well saw down a 500-year-old tree that the Amazon relies on. There's lots of alternatives which might not be as cool but are a hell of a lot better for our forest and forest life. A fair share of them are illegal to import into the United States. Boy they sure are pretty but the price paid is much higher than the dollar value. If you want to be cool Don't use them if you want to be a fool live it up.

Well if you live near the Amazons or live in Africa, then you have no choice but to cut down these trees, you can't expect them to import walnut and birch wood from the more developed countries. But if you from the developed countries were to buy these woods, then I agree that would be a sinful act, and supporting the extinction of the local fauna.

@@limitlesssky3050 i agree Limit. We abused and destroyed our flora and fauna hundreds of years ago but now we want to hold developing countries and the poor of those countries responsible for the worlds climate problems. Part of the problem is that it isn't those most in need who benefit from Brazilian gold mining and logging, it benefits those who are already wealthy and have the ability to grease the palms of the politicians. Slash and burning to grow avocados might give the poor some short term benefits but thats all. If we don't want third world or developing countries cut down their Forests and harvest minerals then we have to pay them and that just means giving the politicians more money and not the populace.
