As a proud michigander I could not be happier with your choice of Cherry wood to represent our wonderful state! You did a wonderful job on the state, the plate, the food and all the way down to the fork. Thank you
Oakin (June berry), Grous( Basswood) and Bamboo (choke cherry) and my vote for Tamarack for Wisconsin (we live in Bayfield) and we harvest all of these for food and medicine. We also use choke cherry fruit as a fresh edible as well as making a mead or vinegar and next year I want to make Choke cherry fruit leather.
Would love to see Hackberry for Minnesota. It is, bar none, my favorite winter wild edible. I'd absolutely send you wood and berries (drupes) if interested!
Michigan person here. Black cherry is neat, but hackberries are so ill known for how neat they are. They're fantastic urban trees for being fast growing, deep-rooted, and pollution tolerant.
Love this! As a Michigander, this tree was actually a great part of my childhood! We had a couple of them in our backyard and when we were little my brother and I would pretend to be wizards and use the berries to make “potions”. I have a lot of fondness for this tree and I think it was a really great choice for this map!
LMAO I did something similar. Me and my siblings would take sweet charie ( i hope thats how you spell it)fruit and squeeze out the seeds so they would shoot out at each other. The seeds never hit anyone 😂
A little tip for guesstimating the temperature of your dutch oven: hold your palm about 5 inches away for about five seconds and if your hand feels like its just about to burn, it's at about 350f. In boyscouts we jokingly called this temperature 'bout five. Once you get the feel for 350 (the temp most things are baked at) you will learn to adjust from there.
As a Michigan native, I was so excited to see what tree and treat you would do and I love the outcome of both! I’m so glad I found your channel, it is so comforting and informative :)
Omg I'm so glad you added a little beaver island! Also funny story at our old house we had a small cherry bush that would give off tart yellowish cherries that slowly turned red and somehow it's survived for a long time and just randomly grew one day! I remember the very sweet smelling flowers and such too
Hey Justin! I just wanted to leave this comment here saying, that I absolutely adore your videos! The mixture between woodworking, tree-knowledge and baking, is just perfect. And last but not least: Your voice and the whole asthetic of your home and your pets: This radiates such a peaceful vibe, which I always enjoy. Especially when you add poems at the end of your videos (regarding your incense video). Thank you for work and have a good day, Wishes from Germany.
As a Michigander, I loved this video. My family used to have cherry trees growing in our back yard but the deer all the berries and bugs killed tree (and it didn't help that we lived on a golf course). But, I'm very surprised there was no mention of the Traverse City Cherry Festival that happens in June. It's a very well-known even that happens in our state. It's always beautiful going up there during that time of year with all the wild cherry trees budding.
Another interesting video and also interestingly the black cherry has made itself quite known over here in Germany. Once planted to improve soil fertility on sandier and drier soils it is now spreading on it's own across more open and sunny habitats. The leaves and flowers are beautiful, but I haven't yet tasted its fruit. Excited for the next part of this series!
Funny you should make a video on this! Last summer, I began exploring my backyard, specifically the area behind my shed because I planned to convert it into a garden. I then realized how many species of edible fruits were back there, including wineberries and even wild grapes. There had always been a shaggy old tree back there, so I used my plant ID app to see what the berries on it were and realized it was a black cherry tree! I was skeptic at first because of the size and missed the season because of it 😢 but I’ll definitely be picking those next year!
About 6 years ago one of the biggest cherries that ever lived lived near my house in a neighbors yard must have been 300 years old and was as big as a giant oak. It was over 6 feet at the base. But recently it got a horrible fungus in its wood that was yellowish and smelled horrible but oddly turned the woods smell almost exactly like the fruit. Unfortunately the fungus finally killed the tree and ruined the structure of the wood and so it was cut into fire wood chunks. I was able to make a few spoons out of the wood that did not fully rot and it was beautiful. Sadly now the rest of the wood is too far gone to use for any wood working.
I hope when you do the South America Continent and Brazil; you consider doing Brazilian Cherry. I have a hatbox, Chief’s Book, and Shadow Box that are all made out of it. Both the Hatbox and the Chief’s book were made over 12 years ago. So the Brazilian Cherry has aged beautifully. Yet the coloration is very different than the American Cherry wood.
I would love to see persimmon wood for Illinois! Amazing tree with great fruit and wood. Plus very interesting bark! And American chestnut would be amazing to see for an eastern state. Such amazing history in that tree and amazing efforts to bring it back from the brink of extinction!
Keep up the amazing work I love your videos! Really hoping you can do pawpaw for Virginia!! And maybe North American persimmon for DC - I may still have some lying around
I want Florida Next, unfortunately the Sabal Palm is very soft wood so it’s not very good for woodworking unless it’s been thoroughly dried. In my county 13-15% moisture content is considered dry and you really can find anything fresh cut less than 35%
Everything turned out absolutely beautiful!😍 Also thank you for the reminder that clafouti exists!!! I’m pretty sure that’s what my dad made once years ago but I could never remember what it was, I just remember it tasting so fluffy and delicious😋❤️
You know I really love this long form series. It’s a shame it doesn’t have as much attention as your shorts. It must be frustrating to be a shorts UA-camr and have trouble getting people to watch some actual videos.
Yeesh, sorry our lovely state is so finicky around the edges, must have been a nightmare to cut out all those jagged coasts- but looks beautiful up there on the map! Thanks for makin our lil mitten!
Unrelated comment but my cat just passed away and i’m having a hard time dealing with it, and for some reason i find your videos very soothing and it’s helping me get through this so thank you, keep up the good content ❤
I can't tell you how much joy I get from watching wood working and cooking/baking all in one. You do it all expertly, and the tone of your videos is always one I enjoy and want to see more of! Also: when you get to Oregon, I highly recommend looking into madrone/madrona wood. It grows prevalently in the south west of the state, and while it does grow elsewhere along the west coast, the trees in Southern Oregon are huge and strange and beautiful, and the wood is hard and gorgeous. Anyway, thanks for all your fun work! :)
Ah! The episode I've been waiting for ('though I'll watch the rest, of course)! Beautiful grain in the wood. Thanks for including Isle Royale. By the way, contrary to its spelling, it's pronounced "I'll ROY-ul," not roy-AL, according to NPS and locals. Not sure why -- I'd be interested to hear if anyone knows.
Continue to love the series! It’s inspired me to make my own map with woods that are native to my garage. Not so exotic, but a bit more doable down here in the dead, tree scarce Texas. Keep the videos coming, they’re a blast!
We started in MI...then got transplanted to NC....I HATED it down here at first but now it's home so you have to do North Carolina next....you have to....lol
Thank you from another proud Michigander! I absolutely adore my beautiful home state and it always makes me so happy to see it get some love. Even though it's the non-native sweet cherries which are grown here, we're considered something of a cherry capitol! Living up in the northern counties of the state like I do, it's cherry EVERYTHING up here! 😁
As always, I'll always vote for adding the territories. Puerto Rico and Guam, and hell maybe something for D.C. if there's a tree of interest native to that bit of land.
Justin, this was informative as always and great pieces; but the flow of this video felt really off from your usual stuff. I hope it was just a hicough in your process, and everything is okay! Happy new year, and many more!
As a relatively recent transplant from the humid and lush east coast to northern CO, I am loving exploring the different environment (also the lack of poison ivy). I’ve learned lots from your videos and it’s enriched my hikes and times outdoors in these new-to-me ecosystems ❤
May I suggest Red Mulberry tree for Iowa? They're considered a nuisance tree here, but I've always thought that was a bit unfair. The berries are sweet and the wood is very similar to black locust in appearance. I loved picking mulberries in the wild as a kid and we would miss them with raspberries to make a cobbler. I would love to see it highlighted in a cool way, which you do so well each and every time! The hardness and durability makes me think it would be a good tone-wood for a tongue drum but I've never seen it used that way. It's rot resistant, insect resistant, and the berries can make a very deep purple stain . (Unlike the white mulberry). The end grain is beautiful and intricate while the heart wood is more uniform and has a very warm color to it. It's usually used in fence posts and furniture, but they don't get very big so you don't tend to see the lumber commercially available outside of it's native range. They tend to grow right up against structures like houses and will regrow no matter how many times you may try to get rid of them, so they can be a bit of a nuisance. However, they're still one of my favorite trees around here.
Great video! Just a helpful tip, you shouldn’t use metal utensils on cast iron because it can harm the seasoning. You could make a wooden dessert knife and server for your next video. I think that would be cool :)
I love the way you also cook and show mistakes in your videos. I would love to know what machines you use in preparing and making your wood items, I’m looking into various tools for my new workshop here in the U.K.
Thanks for using a favorite tree for my home state. I love ove using cherry for smoking meats. Gives off a nice sweet smoke. Please be gentle when using metal on your dutch oven though
Have a question, so I got lots of fresh olive wood from an old tree that was cut down, would I be able to use it right away? Or what is the process of drying and prepping? Thanks, love the videos by the way!
I’d love to see your take on a Dutch oven lid stick. I can’t imagine it was something my scout troop invented. Find a Y shaped hardwood branch and cut the bottom off around an inch below the crotch, cut off one of the upper branches about 2 inches from the crotch, and the other upper branch is your handle.
You would be surprised how delightful the fruit is. It’s a concentrated sweetened cherry flavour, almost addictive despite the thin layer of flesh coating the pip. Used to turn us into ravenous little monsters as kids and would irremediably stain any item of clothing worn on the day.
I'm very interested to see what you do for Iowa in this series, our state tree is just... oak. Not any specific oak mind you, just oak. Would love to see how you manage to make that intersting lol
watching your map come together makes me wanna do this w my country but i have absolutely no experience woodworking (will probably accidentally cut off a limb), have no tools whatsoever and i have absolutely zero idea abt trees here. but now i do wanna learn more abt them. gon do some research and maybe try my hand at smth similar with a diff art form instead of woodworking
Friend. If you are going to talk about native plants and non-native plants, can you please also discuss the environmental importance of native plants as food for insects 😍😍
I love that you added Isle Royale, even if you did twist the pronunciation a bit. Don’t worry; the wolves and the moose up there don’t mind, so neither will I.
i very much now want a black cherry tree in my backyard. i live in michigan, and my dad has been wanting some fruit trees. might have ti find some saplings!
I was actually in Michigan quite a while ago and had some wild black cherry ice cream while up there, and that was probably the best ice cream I have ever had
Maclura pomifera for one of the south central states it has a beautiful orange center and is a very hard wood bows made from this wood was worth a horse and a blanket in the old days. They use to make ox yokes out of this wood too aliases boris de Arco, osage orange, hedge apple. The fruit is high in pectin and the seeds are edible mean thorns tho for being related to mulberry it should be a cousin to the locust 😅 one of my favorites next to the willow
I used to drink Sioux City black cherry soda a lot when I was younger. Idk if that's made from the same tree, or if black cherries in that sense are just a name and they're also sweet cherries or sour cherries
I know this is not very representative of the state as a whole, but as someone who grew up in San Diego I was wondering if you have ever considered using a Torrey Pine for California?
i love the amount of work you put into your videos, i dont know how you can make so many and still find the time to be so connected with nature ! you also have an amazing personality to your videos and honestly your character that is so hard to come by :)
A river birch would be a great tree for kansas! My grandparents have one in their yard and it's so cool to look at, not as good for climbing as some others though
As a proud michigander I could not be happier with your choice of Cherry wood to represent our wonderful state! You did a wonderful job on the state, the plate, the food and all the way down to the fork. Thank you
It's nice to see another proud Michigander, hope your doing well. As always don't listen to a thing the people from down south say. Go Blue
Yea it is nice to see another michigander here in chat who agree that cherry wood for the state wood
I'm in the lower peninsula in Roseville come find me if you want
If your want to easily remember the hate lakes remember HOMES Huron Ontario Michigan Erie Superior
I want to dedicate this three to michigan
Oakin (June berry), Grous( Basswood) and Bamboo (choke cherry) and my vote for Tamarack for Wisconsin (we live in Bayfield) and we harvest all of these for food and medicine.

im canadian. I WANT MY WOOD MAP TOO. big sad
Would love to see Hackberry for Minnesota. It is, bar none, my favorite winter wild edible. I'd absolutely send you wood and berries (drupes) if interested!
Would love to see this, as a fellow Minnesotan!! ❤
Love this! but also White Norther Cedar -Nookomis Giizhik (Grandmother Cedar) Honor our Ojibwa Peoples!!
Michigan person here. Black cherry is neat, but hackberries are so ill known for how neat they are. They're fantastic urban trees for being fast growing, deep-rooted, and pollution tolerant.
Tamarack is another neat option! I love seeing the yellow needles in the wetlands up north
Love this! As a Michigander, this tree was actually a great part of my childhood! We had a couple of them in our backyard and when we were little my brother and I would pretend to be wizards and use the berries to make “potions”. I have a lot of fondness for this tree and I think it was a really great choice for this map!
Lol I did this with a crab apple tree in my yard growing up.
LMAO I did something similar. Me and my siblings would take sweet charie ( i hope thats how you spell it)fruit and squeeze out the seeds so they would shoot out at each other. The seeds never hit anyone 😂
wht i love about Michigan is that it's so recognizable. and the lakes. those are nice too
Dude the lakes are probably the best part outside of the gorgeous ass forests.

About to go camping tommorow and was asked to be a chef, unfortunately i am not baking but i might have to sue that
As a Michigan native, I was so excited to see what tree and treat you would do and I love the outcome of both! I’m so glad I found your channel, it is so comforting and informative :)
I never knew a tree could be an imposter! Beautiful wood, PITiful fruit.
AMOGUS AMOGUS
PITiful fruit… thank you 😂
Omg I'm so glad you added a little beaver island!
Also funny story at our old house we had a small cherry bush that would give off tart yellowish cherries that slowly turned red and somehow it's survived for a long time and just randomly grew one day! I remember the very sweet smelling flowers and such too

I love these videos. You always do such a good job showcasing the wood and trees and traditional uses!
the state map out of different woods is such a fantastic idea for a series! Congrats, love how you teach us stuff about the trees on the way
As a Michigander, I loved this video. My family used to have cherry trees growing in our back yard but the deer all the berries and bugs killed tree (and it didn't help that we lived on a golf course).

It's always beautiful going up there during that time of year with all the wild cherry trees budding.
I can't wait for you to make Arizona out of a velvet mesquite
I really hope he goes for this because it's my absolute favorite.

Honestly these videos are great background noice when I’m drawing thank you greatly for making my making of art not boring ♥️
I am loving these longer format videos, the pace of them matches the cadence of your speech.
What a great Video! As a Yooper who has watched you for over a year. Thx for Isle Royale! The wood is a great choice! Ty again for doing my home!

You should do the Jack Pine for Minnesota! I don't know how it is with woodworking, but its my favorite tree :)
As a certified gander, I approve of this message
Keep up the amazing work I love your videos! Really hoping you can do pawpaw for Virginia!! And maybe North American persimmon for DC - I may still have some lying around
When you the first to say first
I want Florida Next, unfortunately the Sabal Palm is very soft wood so it’s not very good for woodworking unless it’s been thoroughly dried. In my county 13-15% moisture content is considered dry and you really can find anything fresh cut less than 35%
It isn't pink!! Minecraft lied at us!! 🗣️‼️
The one in Minecraft is the cherry blossom. That one has pink wood! Just Google "cherry blossom wood". 👍
Everything turned out absolutely beautiful!😍 Also thank you for the reminder that clafouti exists!!! I’m pretty sure that’s what my dad made once years ago but I could never remember what it was, I just remember it tasting so fluffy and delicious😋❤️

I like how you create the stat and then you also do something extra and interesting with it, like making cookies, beads, plate and etc
Do Illinois!!

I am very happy you added Beaver Island to Michigan as well!
Hi
Yes finally! Michigan!
The perfect tree too
I feel like the white pine would have also been a good choice
YOO my fav UA-camr back agaib
Ah! The episode I've been waiting for ('though I'll watch the rest, of course)! Beautiful grain in the wood. Thanks for including Isle Royale.
By the way, contrary to its spelling, it's pronounced "I'll ROY-ul," not roy-AL, according to NPS and locals. Not sure why -- I'd be interested to hear if anyone knows.
Yeah, Michigan is a strange state for pronunciations.
Oops! Should’ve looked that up first!
@audrey8556 Hey hey hey now 😟 Just kidding. You're 100% right.😝
Signed, a Michigan lifer
We have really good cherries here in Portugal, every year for my birthday my mum buys me a bunch of them instead of cake 😅
Aw man, my list of must try foods just keeps getting longer!
Let’s gooo
Continue to love the series! It’s inspired me to make my own map with woods that are native to my garage. Not so exotic, but a bit more doable down here in the dead, tree scarce Texas. Keep the videos coming, they’re a blast!
wood
We started in MI...then got transplanted to NC....I HATED it down here at first but now it's home so you have to do North Carolina next....you have to....lol
I am absolutely in love with your backyard(?) fire/cooking setup!!!!!!
I do so miss our families and the country! ❤❤❤
Thank you from another proud Michigander! I absolutely adore my beautiful home state and it always makes me so happy to see it get some love. Even though it's the non-native sweet cherries which are grown here, we're considered something of a cherry capitol! Living up in the northern counties of the state like I do, it's cherry EVERYTHING up here! 😁
I learned the hard way in culinary school that it’s not pronounced ‘cla-FOO-tii’ but rather the French ‘CLA-foo-TEE’
When I saw the Dutch oven I really loved the video because I’m a Michigander and Dutch
Fun fact: _Prunus serotina_ has been introduced to Europe. Over here it's incredibly invasive.
Thank you for showing us the cooking failure. Very relatable.
As always, I'll always vote for adding the territories. Puerto Rico and Guam, and hell maybe something for D.C. if there's a tree of interest native to that bit of land.
Justin, this was informative as always and great pieces; but the flow of this video felt really off from your usual stuff.
I hope it was just a hicough in your process, and everything is okay! Happy new year, and many more!
I missed your "Bbbbbbyyyyeeeeeeee!" ate the end.
How would you make the Islands of Hawaii?? What wood would you use?
As a relatively recent transplant from the humid and lush east coast to northern CO, I am loving exploring the different environment (also the lack of poison ivy). I’ve learned lots from your videos and it’s enriched my hikes and times outdoors in these new-to-me ecosystems ❤

I wish you're making videos everyday lol it's so relaxing
Great video! Just a helpful tip, you shouldn’t use metal utensils on cast iron because it can harm the seasoning. You could make a wooden dessert knife and server for your next video. I think that would be cool :)
That wood's grain and color are really beautiful. I'm looking forward to what wood you'll use for Illinois and Tennessee!
When you do these videos, do you make the pieces for them all in one day? That plate and fork set is gorgeous! I love black cherry trees
You should write a book all of these trees and your experience working with them and learning about them.
I love the way you also cook and show mistakes in your videos.
I would love to know what machines you use in preparing and making your wood items, I’m looking into various tools for my new workshop here in the U.K.
Thanks for using a favorite tree for my home state. I love ove using cherry for smoking meats. Gives off a nice sweet smoke.
Please be gentle when using metal on your dutch oven though
Have a question, so I got lots of fresh olive wood from an old tree that was cut down, would I be able to use it right away? Or what is the process of drying and prepping? Thanks, love the videos by the way!
I’d love to see your take on a Dutch oven lid stick. I can’t imagine it was something my scout troop invented.
Find a Y shaped hardwood branch and cut the bottom off around an inch below the crotch, cut off one of the upper branches about 2 inches from the crotch, and the other upper branch is your handle.
You would be surprised how delightful the fruit is. It’s a concentrated sweetened cherry flavour, almost addictive despite the thin layer of flesh coating the pip. Used to turn us into ravenous little monsters as kids and would irremediably stain any item of clothing worn on the day.
I'm very interested to see what you do for Iowa in this series, our state tree is just... oak. Not any specific oak mind you, just oak. Would love to see how you manage to make that intersting lol
watching your map come together makes me wanna do this w my country but i have absolutely no experience woodworking (will probably accidentally cut off a limb), have no tools whatsoever and i have absolutely zero idea abt trees here. but now i do wanna learn more abt them. gon do some research and maybe try my hand at smth similar with a diff art form instead of woodworking
I’m excited to see what you pick for North Carolina! So many good options
you seem to have forgotten that the UP is actually part of wisconsin. It’s okay, i’ll wait for the wisconsin episode.
Friend. If you are going to talk about native plants and non-native plants, can you please also discuss the environmental importance of native plants as food for insects 😍😍
Question for all of my Michiganders out there, is it the Great Lake state? Or the great mitten state? 🤔
What kind of lathe do you use? Sorry if you have already mentioned this before I just discovered this channel and am loving it!
I love that you added Isle Royale, even if you did twist the pronunciation a bit. Don’t worry; the wolves and the moose up there don’t mind, so neither will I.
From Connecticut. I see lots of black cherry beside a nearby rive. Good video, cheers
in the next "what's in the pile" make chopsticks. it gives you an excuse to use bamboo, if you have any.
i very much now want a black cherry tree in my backyard. i live in michigan, and my dad has been wanting some fruit trees. might have ti find some saplings!
The only thing I think of watching this is the latest Minecraft update which added cherry wood. Comon someone had to add the Minecraft comment
I was actually in Michigan quite a while ago and had some wild black cherry ice cream while up there, and that was probably the best ice cream I have ever had
Maclura pomifera for one of the south central states it has a beautiful orange center and is a very hard wood bows made from this wood was worth a horse and a blanket in the old days. They use to make ox yokes out of this wood too aliases boris de Arco, osage orange, hedge apple. The fruit is high in pectin and the seeds are edible mean thorns tho for being related to mulberry it should be a cousin to the locust 😅 one of my favorites next to the willow
I used to drink Sioux City black cherry soda a lot when I was younger. Idk if that's made from the same tree, or if black cherries in that sense are just a name and they're also sweet cherries or sour cherries
excuse me where is your black hawthorn teaspoon
I know this is not very representative of the state as a whole, but as someone who grew up in San Diego I was wondering if you have ever considered using a Torrey Pine for California?
You should be careful with that plate. The bottom is clearly marked as radioactive.
All I wish is either for Florida you make gator tail or for my home state of Maryland you use copious amounts of old bay
A big old log of Mesquite for Texas youll thank me later broski 🙏
For South Dakota use black hills pine
i love the amount of work you put into your videos, i dont know how you can make so many and still find the time to be so connected with nature ! you also have an amazing personality to your videos and honestly your character that is so hard to come by :)
Ohio next!!! You’ll have 4 connecting states.
prior to this video the only dutch oven i ever heard of was farting the pulling the blanket over somones head- so yay for learning
A river birch would be a great tree for kansas! My grandparents have one in their yard and it's so cool to look at, not as good for climbing as some others though
This is a really cool wood and tree project
I have a wild black cherry tree near my job. I should be able to get you a sandwich bags come the season.
I would love to see the completed Canada map, placed next to the completed US map
This is a cooking channel and a wood carving channel in one and I didn't know that I needed this but I'm glad I found it.
Second time asking for California to be made from mansanita
I live in Washington state and we have Rainer and Bing varieties. My wife and I love cherries when they are in season.
