Hi. The tree is called apsen tree. You can read more about it in wikipedia. It is common for the boat making in the Siberia. It is the most water resistant tree available for boats. The place where it is happening is a small village (of 250 people) in the central Russia (region Krasnoyarsk) nearby Yenisei River. The village in Russian is called Бахта.
Great movie!
Could you please give more details about the kind of tree that is used? And specify the region where this video is made?
I found a link to this video on an American blog, but I have my own blog about boats and boat forms ...
