How to turn sawdust into natural-scented incense
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- Just in time for episode 2 of What's in That Pile, we got our first snow storm of the season, which meant it was time to get as cozy as humanly possible. And few things help me up hygge factor during a snowstorm than by burning a little natural wood incense.
That's right! You can make incense out of nothing more than sawdust, water, and a little bit of binder like xanthan gum! It's super easy.
So, follow along as I make a little incense holder, bake some cones out of the sawdust I made while making the holder, and then get all sentimental about the smell of juniper smoke.
Also, I talk to the chickens about the snowstorm. They weren't in the mood.

I have no idea what juniper smells like, but your description of it at the end really made me feel like I know it for a second. Such a beautiful and serene video.
It's wonderful, I sometimes split logs just to get the smell and see the purple wood
Thank you so much! That’s as kind a compliment as I could hope for!
@@Wahatoyas oh i see, that's nice! Also, purple?
@@Justinthetrees thanks for replying! I recently came across your videos, and, this channel is just so peaceful and fun to watch, and a way to learn new facts!
Yukta i had to subscribe because his videos are really peaceful
Broooo, I'm so glad I found your channel!! You provide the perfect mix of knowledge of trees, woodworking and culinary delights to boot! Your channel is so refreshing and provides a respite in this chaotic world that we call home. You've become a friend in my head lol Keep doing an awesome job!!
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
Oh wow, what amazing compliments! Thank you SO much, I'm sincerely glad you enjoy the content, my friend!
@@Justinthetrees I love your videos
"Come to me of this is what you want."
This is exactly what I want. Thank you for being you, Justin
I think I'm becoming a big fan of trees because of you
the absolute highest of compliments
Finally the channel with both astonishing vibes and some solid and useful woodworking
Have you thought of doing audio book style calm readings of different books? You have the perfect calming voice for it, I’ve honestly fallen into such pleasant calm naps while watching your videos and TikTok’s, and it’s not at all because I’m bored or anything, it’s just the calm atmosphere of the videos. Love what you do ❤👍
My idea is Justin should start a podcast where he talks about trees and gives info, history, and legend about those trees
Cool, I agree 👍
Thanks to you, I can not help myself but to whisper chatoyancy into my friends ear every time we are in woodworking at school
For a couple years now, I've been trying to coax a friend of mine to be more contemplative and mindful, this video evoked thoughts of her in my mind, and I couldn't help but share it her way, especially with that ending monologue. Thank you, kind internet stranger, for giving me another voice to encourage others to be mindful with.
SyniStar616: perhaps I misunderstood all these years, but aren’t things like mindfulness and meditation supposed to be for working on ourselves instead of foisting our values on the people around us and trying to change them?
@@daphneraven6745 it's a complicated situation that ultimately boils down to, she notices that we see the world differently and thus asks me how she can start to think about things the same way I do.
This channel makes me so happy. I’ve always had a love for trees, especially learning how to identify native species and finding their historical uses, so finding a channel that hits that right on the mark and does cool crafts with them feels to good to be true for my little niche interest 😂
It’s a bit of a stretch, but have you ever considered doing a video on the American chestnut? There’s not much you can do with the wood since it’s functionally extinct, but I think the story is fascinating and a good video topic!
Oh you'd better believe I'm going to be covering the American Chestnut! (I'd wager a reclaimed piece will be on the new map at some point)
My dude, you need to write a book! You have such a way with words. A book on trees, uses, how to identify them, little facts. I think it would be amazing!
I used to do woodworking but fell out of it. Stumbling upon your channel has reignited my desire to get back in the garage. Beautiful work!!
Your channel is easily one of the most wholesome. And honestly probably the most wholesome 1 million+ subscriber channels. It doesn't even feel like a big channel, that's the thing.
Your poetic description brings back so many memories of camping with my family ! Thank you.
You say that you're not a good source to come to for woodworking tips, but in fact, your the exact kind of person I'd want to come to for tips and information because you make it fun while also teaching us. Not many people are able to do that.
You are my favorite person to listen to when my work gives me stress. idk why but wood just calms me down
This is really helpful as a bit of a incense cone making tutorial. I have a lot of difficulty with smells, and I like the idea of incense but not the actual smell of most types. Making my own out of sawdust would be a great alternative, as I already love the smell of a woodshop. Using Xanthum gum as a binder is something I never thought of. Thanks for the tip!!!
second that. I'm very smell triggered into feeling sick or getting migraines. I can't handle alot of stronger artificial scents, but natural oils I don't have as much a reaction to.
You, poet!! Very eloquently spoken. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the details. You can feel the environment the smell put you in. 👏
The way this man talks so honestly is so, so beautiful to me, i almost cried listening to this😭
Poetic - both with words and with wood.
Man really is the Bob Ross of woodworking
It's like a cooking show but for wood. This is great!
That last section is pure poetry
This is the only thing I regret not enjoying enough. My nose stopped working proudly roughly 2 years before lockdown hit. A specialist said I had a lazy or nearly dead nerve so my nose effectively couldn't smell. I've been getting it back slowly, but things just don't smell the same. One of my favorite memories oh just my smell was a trip through the California redwoods, and since then, I've been going to one day smell those trees again. For all of you who still can smell, cherish it, you never know when you might lose it.
I love this guy so much, whever im bored or cant sleep i watch this guy, if im feeling sad or mad i watch this guy, this guy is my favourite youtuber
Came to learn how to make incense out of all the sawdust I create, stayed for the beautiful story telling. 🙌🏼✨
I haven’t been to the States in nearly a decade and I’ve never been to the midwest, but still hearing you talk about the juniper and showing the pictures made it feel like I was there :) love your videos!
Yeah
I love this series. It cool just watching you take a random piece of wood and turn it into something really cool.
That was one of the most comforting videos I've seen in a while
JD rewarding those who stick around with some of your best stuff at the end! Thank you for the beautiful words and images!
You keep telling us to watch your full videos and not only your shorts. And every time it is worth it, this video was no exception. Thanks a lot, Justin! Keep making great videos! Your pal from Norway.
I love how the snow casually flows in front of the camera it makes the video feel cozy
I LOVE THE SOUND OF CARVING
I followed you for your story telling and fell in love with wood and trees as I watched you. I’m so happy about these longer videos on UA-cam now
lovely, heartwarming, and charming. you truly are a poet. thank you for your appreciation of the trees, they really do deserve y/our devoted adoration and respect 🥰🌳
This is my fav episode. The poetry while watching the juniper smoke was a nice touch. I want to make my own incense now!
i usually don’t post comments like this, but this video was so good!! i’m just getting into woodworking, so it’s nice timing that i found your channel. you have such good vibes and i love hearing you talk about stuff that you’re passionate about. you have a new subscriber :)
I took a woodworking class in college. It was an actual requirement for my degree! Really! I loved ,loved loved working with the lathe!! All that sawdust flying and the smell of the woods we used ! And in the end I had a sweet little round top table with a turned support and carved clawed feet ! I never got to turn a bowl but thats my gift to myself this year.... bowl turning class !! Yay! Me ! Thanks for all of you wonderful videos! 🤩🤩
I’m so glad you made it over to UA-cam
Man, the end of this video was so nice.
Thank you!
Scent is so powerful, whenever I smell vanilla I get reminded of my grandmother and her special butter biscuits she used to make for festivities, everytime I think of them I tear up because I miss her so much
I wonder if she would be proud of who I grew up to be
I also just began to appreciate November. Love the beginning of the hibernation season before the business holidays. Also......you're adorabley poetic😊
I love your format of making an object and then some other project to go with it, particularly the incense I’d love it if you did more incense!
I absolutely love chatoyancy, though I didn’t know it was called that until now. I milled a southern live oak log for my workbench top and it has some nice figuring and curling making some parts look 3D.
If you don’t have a tree for Florida yet, I’d suggest either the southern live oak (also called cathedral oak in some places here in NW Florida). More common is the Southern Yellow pine that was logged for good home building lumber and still is but more sustainably than the clear cutting old growth days.
Juniper makes me think of the high desert in central Oregon. Every time I fly into Redmond the smell of juniper is the first thing you notice. Excellent video
This channel is all the right vibes
Dang, those juniper campfire lines were felt all the way over here in Tn. Thanks for your words at the end on this'n. I love when they're included.
Just joined due to those good good tree facts and Miles being a good pup!
My bf would love this! Beautiful video ❤
My new favorite channel. You're an inspiration in so many ways.
I feel like this man is the amalgamation of Eagleton Ron and Ron swanson.
He did it again…. Please keep it up. I’ll support in any way I can.
I get nostalgic from the smell of freshly sanded oak. It reminds me of the farms I grew up around.
I don’t think I ever thought it my entire life that I would have landed on this page. I also don’t regret it one bit. You bring out the author in everyone.
I really can’t describe why or how this made me feel so warm, but it did. Thanks dude
man, i saw some of your shorts, but when in one of them you suggested to watch the whole video I really fell into a rabithole there. And I'm so glad I did. Just your description of the juniper smell in the and of the video made me cry a little bit... your words are so powerful, keep up your beautiful work, it's so inspiring!
Thank you so much for sharing again. The light in the room at the end gave it a magical touch. Greetings from Antwerp, 🇧🇪
mr thetrees has some serious wholesome dad energy. always nice when you’re having a hard day or just need something like this. good on ya mate
That's a beautiful piece of wood, so simple and elegant.
Came for the woodworking, stayed for the poem at the end. So good
Favorite video so far
I love the smell of juniper wood. Makes me feel back at home in Idaho ❤️
This was beautiful. Growing up in Arizona, I get exactly what you're talking about. absolutely lovely and I want to be like you when I get older.
This video was very warming! I really loved the message at the end. Also I would definitely listen to that rant 😆
That description at the end really got me ngl
Watching this was the best way to calm down from the day... good laughs from chatoyancy and deep breaths from looking at juniper. THANK YOU
Yes 🙌 so happy I found your channel. What a refreshing vid. Thank you 🙏
When I trim my juniper, I save the pieces and use them on the grill to lightly smoke meat. Especially awesome with salmon, chicken, and pork.
Beautiful video and loved the narration/poetry at the end.
Its been beautiful up here w all the snow again
This has me in tears. What a beautiful discussion of the smell of memories.
Can you do a map of Canada
I've been doing it on TikTok and IG, but ran out of the wood needed for it, hoping to get some soon so I can finish and put the compilation on here!
Ok cool
@@Justinthetrees Does Nunavut actually have trees though?
At 6.37 is where the theme purpose of this video start. I liked the lathe work.
Good I love seeing these videos.
This is one of the best videos i have ever seen. It made me so happy
I really love the smell of Bolivian rosewood. I may make a Bolivian rosewood incense now.
That last part was so beautifully articulated & just... 😢😊❤ love it!♡♡♡
I live in the Pacific Northwest on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula. My favorite tree scent would have to be the white fir. There are resin nodules all over the surface of the bark. I just love poking the nodules and watching the sap drip, releasing that piney scent. Peace and love to everyone.❤️🙏
4:55 He's gonna say it! He's gonna say it!
4:58 *Thunderous applause*
Thank you for doing what you do
It’s been a lazy day and I’ve been watching through your series at random. It’s been a nice day lol
Pile number 3 lol this is starting off so good 😅😂
Awesome video! Inspiring too. For me, the smell of home is pine. I grew up next to a pine plantation and there were quite a lot of pines in my garden. I loved that forest. And what’s more, my first dog loved pinecones. They were her favourite toy. I think she liked the CRONCH. So her breath was always pine fresh. I can’t see a pinecone or a pine tree without thinking of her. We moved to a farm about 6 months before she passed away and there is a very small pine forest here. It’s her forest now and that is where she has been buried. I looked it up and you can make pine incense. I think I will do that. I’m sure my dog won’t mind me taking a fallen branch from her forest ❤️
I've never in my years felt jealous of somebody else's life, but I am of yours since finding your videos a few weeks ago. Small steps, enjoy the little things and I'll get there I hope!
I love watching these videos, especially before bed. It’s both informational and fulled with what I can only assume a great passion for wood.
Wow, loved the end of the video. Very peaceful, inciteful and beautiful! You rule on your shorts but these videos are something special!
i literally whispered “chatoyancy” to myself after you carved the slight dip in the incense holder, and then you talked about chatoyancy and i died laughing inside 😂
WOOD I LOVE WOOD!
I loved this episode. Thank you
I love your videos and how enthusiastic you are about wood. Also nice mustache.
Thank you for the Christmas gift idea!
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!
My soul is soothed
Such a vibe ❤
I wish i can experience what you just explained about the smell. I envy you for you can transform woods to a more useful use than just throwing them in the woodfire. Take care and God bless your channel .
Juniper trees are my some of my absolute favourite species, specifically Rocky Mountain Juniper :)
Never change, my dude.
Beautiful work. This is such a soothing video. That incense holder is just gorgeous, and now I'm inspired to smell my sawdust and consider keeping it for incense instead of sweeping it all up & tossing it out.
Thanks for this wonderful journey. I really wish I could smell the incense.
I still remember running around the rivers and mountains of Provo, Utah in my childhood. Even though I am far away from Utah, sometimes the smell of sand or hot air brings me back to that majestic place before the smell then disappears. I plan to visit my birthplace soon. Thank you for making this video, keep up the good work!
