I love that you do a bit of woodworking, a bit of cooking and a bit of history. As someone who doesn't live in the US, learning a lot of tiny little details about so many trees, fruits, recipes and indigenous traditions is very fun!
There's a lot of information like this that's in danger of being lost as young people either care less or simply don't know it's knowledge to have. I'm glad to see the interest in all of this has spread outside of North America
@@daemon2426 absolutely, cultural traditions is something that is very interesting to me in general, and they are usually in danger because of the way globalization works and nations put pressure on native cultures. I'm aware that that's especially true for native american cultural heritage so seeing creators that talk about those in this interesting way is very cool
The way I cheered when the hickory wood cup was suggested. 😆 A hickory trifecta! I feel like these long-form videos have the spice of short-form content because there are so many neat parts to relish. Recipe! Foraging! Making things! History! This channel is truly a gem.
The bonus third phase of a long form video! Your additional work doesn’t go unnoticed. Keep chasing the long form goal. This video was one of my faves!!!
I love your foraging recipes! I'm 2 weeks into some pine syrup, and it smells like it's starting to ferment into alcohol. Not sure if that's supposed to happen.
I know you do native trees, but when you inevitably get around to doing The District of Columbia, nothing works better to encapsulate the city than the Sakura, which while imported from East Asia, is definitely the most iconic tree in DC.
Sooo many different eco regions in Texas- eastern piney woods, post oak savannahs and live oak/ juniper complex on the Edwards plateau, scrubby desert mesquite in the west, that plus beautiful ebony in the south… actually quite a few interesting woody plants to the south but I don’t think most of them get large enough to do any real woodworking with them. I think that list covers most of the trees I see in the north as well For those keeping track I’m nominating one of the pines (maybe short-leaf? Pinus echinata), post oak (Quercus stellata), live oak (Quercus fusiformis), juniper (Juniperous ashei), mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), and ebony (Ebenopsis ebano)
For Arizona I really hope you do Ironwood or Desert Willow. Desert Willows are such an underrated tree here and when they bloom they have these nice white and purple trumpet flowers.
I tried some commercially available hickory syrup a couple years ago. It was exactly as you described! Lovely, slightly smokey, and delicious. I do prefer maple syrup, but these other recipes you tried are definitely intriguing!
I'm biased to recommend Massachusetts but I think it could be fun to do the Staghorn Sumac - since its a little state you wont need a thick piece of wood, and you can make sumac lemonade! Its pretty much naturalized all over the place (as im sure you know) but Mass is smack dab in the middle of its native range. I really got to appreciate it when I learned about how useful it is at reintroducing woodlands, its a great native pioneer species.
In my backyard we have tons of these. A couple years ago we were cut some down to make more space so we had so much of this wood. Might try to make something with the nuts and bark this fall
As a Chicago native I enjoyed this video just a tad bit more. Especially since I never knew the nuts off the tree where edible lol. Always found the shaggy bark super interesting and for a long time thought as kid thought most trees' bark where the same. Deff want to try some hickory bark syrup asap
Thanks for making our state out of such a beautiful piece of wood! Love your videos and everything my son and I learn through them ❤ Your content is delightful and is really appreciated. We really enjoy watching every video together 😊
I have a question. Day Wood usually absorbs water so if you make utensils out of it wouldn't that happen or doesn't the taste of wood mix with what you are eating or drinking in it. I know you have a coating of oil on it but is it enough?. I don't know much about woor working so just asking
Texas Live Oak for Texas. It was the tree in front of the school book depository when jfk was murdrered in November 63. Except it loses its leaves in July i believe making it hard to to see and shoot through in November...
If you see this, may I recommend either the bald or pond cypress for Florida? I think they're absolutely iconic here, and seeing their cute little cypress stumps all around them make it even better. I'm not sure how they're used in woodworking, but if it's possible, I'd love to see it!!
I love this series :) it’s been nice showing the guys at work as well So creative, I’d like to try that hickory bark syrup that looked great :) Id love to see Alaska/Sitka Spruce
One tip to help with crystallization is using a wet brush to wash down the sides of the pot once it starts boiling. The crystals start forming in the residue on the sides and will continue the crystal formation down into the syrup. If you look up any kind of caramel making tutorial, they will show you how to do it since you also do that when boiling caramel so that it doesnt crystallize
As someone w several food allergies (but not nuts tha k goodness) What do you eat to scratch the itch (hayooo lol) when you want something nutty? For instance if I am craving a sauce that is kind of like a sweet tomato sauce I roast peppers and carrots and blend with blueberries. I'm just exhausted from an allergy test yesterday and I'm curious about how others navigate this nonsense. Once again my condolences for your misfortunate allergy.
ooo everything looks so neat! the hickory milk with the hickory syrup in a hickory cup made me laugh lol love to eventually see tennesse made in magnolia wood too!
This was a lovely episode and i got weirdly excited when you said you were gonna make a cup to go with it. I think its really cool how you put so much effort into making so many things from the same tree, really doing a good job educating us on all of its uses. Great work!
I’ve been singing the praises of Myrtlewood, and still recommend it for Oregon. But let me also put in Piñon Pine or Bigtooth Maple for New Mexico! Both lovely trees from my home state!
I have a shack bark hickory out back. Now I’m going to go get some pieces off of it. Is there a better time of year to make the syrup or will late spring be ok?
Love thiss. I wanna try it now Also btw it would be so cool if you made a video where you glue scraps of wood together and make something out of it. Ive seen other ppl do it and think it creates such unique looks
There is an old joke, that I probably can't find online and would take me a long time to dredge up from memory, but I remember the punchline. "Is this an almond daiquiri, Dick? No, it's a hickory daiquiri, Doc." Before this video I completely forgot that not only the existence of the hickory tree, but also that it had edibles nuts. XD (Oh and thanks for the fun woodworking/cooking video and the history!)
If you want to use Big Leaf Maple (acer macrophyllum) for Oregon I have some 12/4 slabs that’s very figured. If you can tell me the size you need, and how to get it to you, I could probably send it to you. I’m in Washington, and the wood came my own tree and was a blow down.
4:24 Elevation affects the boiling point of water, so if you're making candy or a syrup and the recipe gives you a target temperature, you may have to adjust for altitude. Rule of thumb: subtract 1 degree F for every 500 ft above sea level. So here in the Salt Lake Valley, I'm at about 4,500 ft, so I would subtract 9 degrees, so for this syrup I'd aim for 216. The target temp basically tells you how much water is remaining in your syrup. Once it reaches the boiling point of water, it takes a while for the temperature to rise any higher, because at that point you have to wait for the water to evaporate. Also, you can usually avoid crystallization by washing down the crystals on the sides of the pan with some water on a pastry brush once it comes to a boil, or boiling it with the lid on for one minute. Then avoid stirring it thereafter to prevent additional crystals from forming on the sides of the pan.
You should do bald cypress for Florida!! It’s one of my favorite trees that grow here! They withstand flooding extremely well, they’re super characteristic of swampy areas, and one of the oldest trees on the planet was a Florida bald cypress called The Senator (it was estimated to be around 3500 years old!) though it tragically burned down in 2012
I'm not sure about other algonquian languages but in cree with the roman alphabet the "c" is like a "ch" or a "ts" The syrup is a a flavoured syrup which is great but you can also tap this tree to get sap to boil into your syrup
I love this long form series. I'm always exited to learn more about an interest tree! I especially love your Canada series. I can't wait for Nunavut. Speaking of which, what are you gonna do for that one? According to my extensive research of looking it up and taking the straight answer without going deeper, Nunavut doesn't have any native trees. It's also gonna be hella difficult to carve as well. Can't wait!
About mid-way through the video I found this small, but FAT spider in my kitchen sink. I JUST wanted to drink some chocolate milk and have Justin tell me all about this random treeee. I dont want spiders anywhere near me... or at least in my house. Gives the heebie jeebies.
Eleventh episode asking for Arizona out of the Velvet Mesquite Tree. It's a lovely thing, and for the bonus thing you could smoke some meats or make some Mesquite flour from the pods. A bakery here in Tucson makes this lovely Sonoran pumpernickel using some of that mesquite flour
I’d love to see Iowa on the map. Iowa may be mostly farmland, but as a suburban Iowan, I live next to a forest, and thus get to see the towering beauty of many trees I used to know the names of. For my entire life, I have hated plastic in (almost) all of its forms, and enjoyed the feeling of natural materials much more. We use so much plastic in our daily lives, just to dispose of it when it’s weak construction fails us. I love your crafts, showing the beauty mankind can do when we harness what nature gave us. I’m sure my opinions on plastic aren’t uncommon, but still, it brings me great joy to think of making my own reusable household items. Much love from Iowa.
Until recently I didn't realize you had longer videos, I have some catching up to do! Hahhaha smiles! I loved this video, and I really enjoy your shorts, so I am 99% positive I will enjoy the videos I have missed! Thanks for taking the time to come up with ideas, film, and edit these videos, I know ot takes a lot of work and it doesn't go unnoticed, smiles!
Would love if you did state Idaho coming up! I think it would be cool to do the Western Larch, Larix Occidentalis, which is dear to my heart. It has a super limited distribution of the Columbia River drainage that makes it unique to the Inland Northwest.
Long form ftw!! Zefrank just made a long post about a huge shift on this platform in relation to shorts and long form videos. I don't understand how someone as big as you doesn't get the views. Your videos are so entertaining and I absolutely love them. I'm hoping the new algorithm doesn't further screw you over.
If you want to avoid crystalization in the future, just add a little bit of corn syrup with your sugar- it doesn't have to be much! The glucose from the corn syrup will interrupt the sucrose from the sugar and keep it from being able to form crystals.
These videos are so comforting. Informative and wholesome with immaculate vibes. I’m from Australia and I’d love if you did an episode on one of our native trees!! Love your work!
I had a dog that would snuffle up the hickory nuts from our numerous pignut hickory trees and spend her days chewing open the outer shell and the nuts to get at the meat. When she passed, her front teeth were barely nubbins. I fondly remember spending my days outside with her, cracking open hickory nuts with spare bits of busted bricks and sharing them with her. Very bitter, but she seemed to enjoy them, and I went along with it. Good pupper.
Hello I've been on your channel for 2 years now and I'm not saying you have to but I would love if you would make anything out of Ornamental trees, Thundercloud plum trees and cacao trees.
Always impressed by your confidence with the skew. Most of the times I've used mine, I get a nasty catch. Is there any reason why you don't wear a face shield while turning?
Loving this series so far! I just binge watched all these videos lol. When you get to Virginia, I suggest going with the Virginia Pine, because not only does it share the name of the state, they are also literally everywhere. I used to always climb them as a kid and my hands would get covered in sap
I love your content, man! Also you’re in Utah which is a bonus in my book. Keep up the good work. I can’t believe you’re not waaaaay bigger than you are
I loved this one! What a cool tree with so much to forage. It's something I may never make depending where I live, but so cool to learn about, especially the historical and modern uses.
I have recently discovered your channel and i am a big fan, the relaxing wood working and the interesting commentary about hisgory, big fan, you deserve more views
depending on the tree, you may need to seal the bottom of a hickory cup more than other woods. It has fairly large pores in its end-grain and could leak/weep. It has tyloses, though, which serve to block some of those pores, so it's not as straw-like as, say, red oak. In general ring-porous woods with large pores also tend to not feel great in the mouth, due to how they swell.
If honey or syrup starts to crystallize put the container in a pot of water only reaching to the lid of the jar and bring I to a boil until all crystals have gone. Crystallization happens when there are particles left inside the syrupy mix and it begins to grow around them. Tip from a Bee keeper
When i first heard the name of the wood, my brain decided to make me go scooby doo mode... Edit: my drumsticks are made out of hickory wood, and id say, good quality. It doesn't vibrate when i hit the toms too hard, and it creates an awesome sound when i hit the crash cymbal with it.
So, you could say this tree has…. Shagtoyancy?
Take my like and leave.
Standing ovation
Standing ovata?
Yep.
You win comments tonight! 😁

Oh! It’s not!! Probably means it’s gone bad, sorry!
@@Justinthetrees good to know. They were picked while they were only an inch long, so probably too early.
Alcohol? Pine wine? I don't see the problem 🥴
i just started some too!!! i hope its ripe enough. started today!
@@petertoth3477 Pine Colada
I know you do native trees, but when you inevitably get around to doing The District of Columbia, nothing works better to encapsulate the city than the Sakura, which while imported from East Asia, is definitely the most iconic tree in DC.
I get so excited when you post!! My ultimate comfort youtuber❤️🌳
Ah thanks! You’re too kind!!
Same!
Please do texas next! There's so many wonderful trees to pick from I don't think you can go wrong
My first thought is the pecan tree
@@mickmash13 The pecan is lovely but it is our state tree!
Sooo many different eco regions in Texas- eastern piney woods, post oak savannahs and live oak/ juniper complex on the Edwards plateau, scrubby desert mesquite in the west, that plus beautiful ebony in the south… actually quite a few interesting woody plants to the south but I don’t think most of them get large enough to do any real woodworking with them.

post oak (Quercus stellata),
live oak (Quercus fusiformis),
juniper (Juniperous ashei),
mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa),
and ebony (Ebenopsis ebano)
Horse apples are from Texas I think. Super hard wood so it might be tough to work with.
My personal favorite is the Blackjack Oak, I'd love to see Justin get his hands on some (for Texas or otherwise)
THE THREEFOLD HICKORY!!! Awesome video, loved that you could really double down on what you could make with the tree. Also super cool drinking glads
For Arizona I really hope you do Ironwood or Desert Willow.
Desert Willows are such an underrated tree here and when they bloom they have these nice white and purple trumpet flowers.
I tried some commercially available hickory syrup a couple years ago. It was exactly as you described! Lovely, slightly smokey, and delicious. I do prefer maple syrup, but these other recipes you tried are definitely intriguing!
I dare you to try it with steak. If you get food poisoning, hospital bill is on me

I would love to try that syrup and milk!
Really love Native American cultures
In my backyard we have tons of these. A couple years ago we were cut some down to make more space so we had so much of this wood. Might try to make something with the nuts and bark this fall
Amazing video! As someone from Illinois, I’m going to have to try this one myself
Am I the only one that could listen and watch this guy all day??? He is just ...... awesome! What great wood he makes.
9:20 Sanding IS my favorite step. I know most hate it but that's when I feel like I've accomplished making something.
I can relate! When I first get started sanding, it’s a pain, but by the time I get to hand finishing, I get that home stretch excitement! 🙂
Really glad you used a hickory for Illinois. Especially the Shagbark as it’s my favorite!
Awesome! Who knew you could get all of that out of one tree. 👍🏻👍🏻
Also could you make a homemade rootbeer mug and of course make a homemade rootbeer to drink out of it?
I know for a fact Miles also has a ton of bark. I desire more Miles content as well pls

I love this series :) it’s been nice showing the guys at work as well
So creative, I’d like to try that hickory bark syrup that looked great :)
Id love to see Alaska/Sitka Spruce
I hope after the version of this series ends you can do a world map version. Quite enjoying this round 2
That would be pretty cool - and he would have new content for ages! 🙂

I think you need a southern border state next to round things out. How about Louisiana? I’m curious about what you’ll pick.
If I wasn't allergic to tree nuts I would love to give the recipes a shot. Please enjoy them more for me!
As someone w several food allergies (but not nuts tha k goodness) What do you eat to scratch the itch (hayooo lol) when you want something nutty?

This series is my fave tbh. I guess the question is… what state do YOU want to see next justin?
I've had a piece of hickory in my wood stash and didn't know it. It just looked like oak with personality
Your work and craftsmanship is amazing, please do Georgia next
Arizona form alligator juniper. Lots of cool uses too
This was a lovely episode and i got weirdly excited when you said you were gonna make a cup to go with it. I think its really cool how you put so much effort into making so many things from the same tree, really doing a good job educating us on all of its uses. Great work!
For California, I suggest you try live oak or manzanita wood.
Not a fan of being the 666th like. But my man's gotta get those likes so I'll take one for the team this time.
Next video series: ‘Building a house in every state out of that state’s native trees’
I have never tried any of these tree recipes, but man that hickory milk looked so good
I’ve been singing the praises of Myrtlewood, and still recommend it for Oregon. But let me also put in Piñon Pine or Bigtooth Maple for New Mexico! Both lovely trees from my home state!
I second this!
Any chance of Oregon being made from Myrtle wood?
Love this! And that drink sounds delightful!
If you do Territorys, would love to see Guam's tree, the Ifit
I have a shack bark hickory out back. Now I’m going to go get some pieces off of it. Is there a better time of year to make the syrup or will late spring be ok?
Any time of year will do, just needs to be a living tree!
ITS 2 AM BUT IDC I AM AWAKE NOW THANK U
Keep these going u are amazing!
Love thiss. I wanna try it now
Also btw it would be so cool if you made a video where you glue scraps of wood together and make something out of it. Ive seen other ppl do it and think it creates such unique looks
You said “nut meat” 😜
YOOOO YOU PRONOUNCE PECAN THE SAME WAY AS ME
There is an old joke, that I probably can't find online and would take me a long time to dredge up from memory, but I remember the punchline. "Is this an almond daiquiri, Dick? No, it's a hickory daiquiri, Doc." Before this video I completely forgot that not only the existence of the hickory tree, but also that it had edibles nuts. XD (Oh and thanks for the fun woodworking/cooking video and the history!)
Can you make a video about ash bore and stuff like that. Love your videos too

The syrup is a a flavoured syrup which is great but you can also tap this tree to get sap to boil into your syrup

Living in the Pacific Northwest I didn't know anything about Hickory trees. This was so much fun ☺️! Thank you!
A rule of thumb when making simple syrup is that it should never be bubbling/boiling. That’s what causes crystallization.
I love your videos. Is Ohio on the horizon "soon"? What tree would you use?
BTW I'm hightailing it to YOUR place when the shtf😂

currently suffering from food poisoning but for some reason felt a little better while watching this. must be the chautoyancy or somethin
There's just something about you and your channel...definitely top 3 favorite channels for me
Please do Osage Orange for Oklahoma. And Juniperus virginiana aka Eastern Redcedar for Virginia.

I’m very curious as to what you’re gonna do for Ohio since you’ve already done the Buckeye. It’s kind of our thing. Lol
can't remember if you did this tree already, but if you could do water birch for Idaho next, that would be cool
Love it! My home state 😎 love your long form videos Justin! Keep up the good work
You should do California and the tree could be a Fern-leaf Ironwood (Lyonothamnus floribundus ssp)
When i first heard the name of the wood, my brain decided to make me go scooby doo mode...
Edit: my drumsticks are made out of hickory wood, and id say, good quality. It doesn't vibrate when i hit the toms too hard, and it creates an awesome sound when i hit the crash cymbal with it.
I love these videos so much. They're fun and educational and just overall pleasing to watch.
Hickory is uncommon where I live, but man is it awesome firewood. Burns hotter than oak and just as hot as a black locust.
My favourite episode so far. The wood is beautiful. And the cup was amazing
That syrup sounds delicious! If you add a small amount of corn syrup when you boil it, it will not crystallize when cool.
If that wasn't stirred with a hickory wood spoon Im gonna be disappointed. Lol great video very informative
