    I honestly can't tell you how annoyed I am that I put Fraxinus instead of Taxus on the scientific name slide for the yew tree, this is what you get for RUSHING through the making of a video because you're desperately trying to get it up before going out of town. Honestly it's JUST because they both have the letter X in them and also it was like 2:00AM and I was delirious, anyway I'M VERY SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME and to repay you I'll make another eating trees video from a tree that one of you comments in here or something idk thanks for watching bye.

      @@Justinthetrees I really also enjoy the more informative (but still not necessarily instructional) aspects you got to add in a 20ish minute format. For example mentioning the tenon (?) and chuck at 9:30. Absolutely down to watch some longer 20 min videos by you :))

    Loved the goblet and the beautiful green of the dessert. At 10.59 the goblet looked a bit like a chess piece, perhaps you could do a series making chess pieces from what's in that pile? Not surprised your neighbours were outside, nice sunny day, here in England it's been on and off rain all day! Thank you for sharing.

    As I have mentioned in the comments of several other videos, please note that yew is not the only type of poisonous evergreen, as hemlocks are also poisonous, they only tend to be in the northeast though but I believe that some of your new england viewers would benefit from that knowledge. I live in maine and hemlocks are a very prevalent tree in our area so I know about them, but some other people may not. Their most distinct feature, apart from looking quite a lot like spruce trees, is their reddish bark. I am not trying to be rude, just informing you of something you may not know about so that you can educate other people, as hemlock is highly toxic and can be deadly if you eat too many cones or needles.
    Also I think it's hilarious to watch you walk around biting trees

    The little goblet is just beautiful, even if the base is a touch too big! The tiny spoon was a perfect complement. I enjoyed the avalanche fallout adventure, but it made me nervous…here in southwest Arkansas we’ve had a really bad time with cottonmouths this summer. I shot one last week a little more than 3 feet long and as big around as a 12oz RedBull can. 😳
    Anyhoo, keep being awesome and I’ll keep watching! 😊

  • @Hana1LuLu
    @Hana1LuLu Рік тому +10

    I understand what you mean about the ratio of the size of the base to the size of the bowl, but since that goblet is so dainty anyways, I think the base actually helps not only give it more "presence" but also help it function. I imagine if you actually made the base as small as you desired then it'd be far too easy to knock over the entire goblet. And then that's crying over spilled granita :c

    I have a piece of some sort of pine I picked up from the ground from visting the mountains in northern california. It's a branch with some of the softer rings rotted away, creating a very cool and somewhat similar visual effect on one end of the log that has fascinated me in the same way. It's so cool to see the rings in such a 3d way.
