Quite no idea what percentage of the felled trees it was.

    It has to be noted that the teak logs cannot float when fresh cut since heavier than water. Therefore, the teaks were first half girdled in order to die and dry when still standing. Then after a year or two the dry tree was felled and brought to the river awaiting on the autumn flood.
