So glad you keep enjoying the wood I sent you my friend! You definitely did the state justice while also hyping up one of my favorite woods of all time. Interested to see what you do with the rest!!❤
As a South Dakota viewer, I am indeed happy. I first learned about box elders when some fell during a storm at my dad’s vineyard. We were confused by the tree’s looking as though they might be bleeding. Luckily, my dad’s friend is a landscaper and informed us about box elder trees.
I used dinner offcuts of this wood to make Swedish butter knives for some friends. They have just gotten more beautiful as time passes. Purely just the beauty of the wood itself.
I'd love to see red spruce done for New York. It's a groovy tree that has a bunch of fun uses, and it helps highlight a side of New York that tends to fly under the radar in most people's mental image of the state.
Would love to see Red Mulberry or American Linden done for Illinois! TBH, I love mulberries picked right off the tree when ripe! Also...I may have gone through a list of Native Illinois trees and like...6 of them were already talked about on the channel/tiktok lol okthanksbyeeee!
I am very excited for you to do Kentucky again, mainly because I want to see the coffeetree version! There’s a cafe in my hometown named after the KY Coffeetree.
Your skill of making a video both entertaining and wildly informative is truly unique. Manitoba Maple's are one of the few tree's that we've got up here in Alberta. Keep making great content! - Jasper
On todays episode of 'holy s### its 3AM and I still can't sleep' I have discovered that I am now addicted to woodworking content. I've seen your videos before, but I have never watched them this late at night.
Box Elder is such a beautiful wood, especially when it's freshly cut. Obviously you can't use it for woodworking until it's dried out, but when it's fresh the reds are SO bright.
It's honestly amazing how natives found a use for almost every tree. They really appreciated nature and cared to preserve it unlike ...some other people.
I'd love to see you carve New York out of one of our characteristic hardwood trees! I've always wondered which tree you think of when you think of NY forests :)
I lived in Box Elder SD for a time and I never realized there were so many box elder bugs because of the trees haha I always thought it was a natural phenomenon 😂 learn something new everyday
Wow, I had no idea! We have a box maple in the backyard. Definitely appreciate it even more now. And I think the maple Beatles are really pretty, I had never seen them before until I was in south Saskatchewan, which, they were everywhere!
When you pick up Miles it reminds me of the German Shepherd I had growing up, in the morning when my sister and I went to school my dad would pick her up and wave her paw or her tail at the kids in the school bus 😄
i might be in the minority but i love boxelder bugs! they are native to my state (minnesota) and they're kind of useless as far as creatures go but i think that's why i like them. boxelder trees are also native to my state but i've never taken the time to go find them. after seeing how beautiful the wood is, i should go find some! i'm not a woodworker but watching this channel has made me want to be more connected to the nature that is native to my area. i'm not sure if you have wood picked out for minnesota yet, but i think the tamarack would be a great choice! i grew up going camping and hiking with my family across the state and i remember walking around tamarack forests up north. i also remember my parents telling me how tamaracks lost their needles every year even though they looked like a pine tree. thank you for your channel and the various series you do! they are entertaining and informative and helps me feel grounded with how crazy the world is getting these days.
I think the way box elder bugs sun themselves in a group like that is super cute! I'm afraid of bugs, but for 1 thing if they're hanging out like that at least they're not flying around, and for another just... just look at them. omg. are they not living the ideal life?? if they ate figs while they did that, would we understand them more easily... don't you wish you were hanging out in the sun w/ all your friends. beautiful wood; I didn't know it could turn red like that!
The territories! Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa. They may not be states, but they're a part of the US. And I'm sure they have interesting trees and native history in those regions. And hey, maybe DC? Not a state *or* a territory, but a popular bit of land with great importance where many live.
Wow! What a gorgeous piece of Box Elder! As someone unlucky enough to be super allergic to poison ivy, hopefully that trick will help on my next outing! If you are able to get your hands on a piece, I would love to see one of the states be made out of Butternut; The Walnut tree's close cousin. Apparently their nuts are also very delectable and can be used to make plenty of treats and sweets!
Yo that loaf looks so fire 🔥 . Wish I had the room for a stand mixer 😅 And the state piece looks too cool! Who can hate a wood with that awesome red streaking ?
For Kentucky, maybe you could use Red Maple wood (12.2% of all of Kentucky's trees and 1 of 2 commercialy important trees in Appalachia) or Kentucky Coffeetree (mainly because it could give you something to make edible wise that is related to the tree) Edit: I'm watching these in order and honestly didn't realize Kentucky was next...called it?
i have a elm, very vigorous and is flush with burls, it looks like the slippery elm medicene could be made from the cool seeds that are like "manna" and the winter "berries" that are noticeable once the leaves drop. I may have triggered burl development by incorrect pruning , this is very interesting monster
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.
My grandfather brought Manitoba maple from his home of dauphin mb to my hometown and there are many growing locally now. Nice trees. I’d like to see full tree rounds made into cutting boards, I have a few nice dry birch rounds that I want to make cutting boards but have no idea how to go from here.
“A lot of you probably know this tree really well.” I’m from the PNW, so if it’s not some kind of conifer I’m basically Jon Snow cuz I know nothing. Interesting to learn about a new tree!
Maybe a shagbark hickory for North Carolina? I’m also wondering if you could get your hands on pawpaw wood-could work for most states in the southeast, if I recall the range correctly
I've got a decent size Box Elder burl sitting in my shop that I'm still trying to figure out what to do with! Can't decided if I want to take it to a sawmill and have it done right or try cut it up myself.
PRETTY PLEASE Written Recipe pls? I make all my own bread and would LOVE to try making this. If you don't want to write it down a link to the recipe would work as well, although I would like to have your version better.
despite having lots of box elder bugs, i was not familiar with the box elder itself until i went to college. I was absolutely TERRIFIED of walking in natural areas because there were so many plants I thought were poison ivy....
i love miles
He's the best
I love you
@@depressiongaming3741 what about ကောသ/kawtha
@@depressiongaming3741 the measurement system used in myanmar is significantly different from the one used by the us or even the metric system
Yeah his dog is so cute
So glad you keep enjoying the wood I sent you my friend! You definitely did the state justice while also hyping up one of my favorite woods of all time. Interested to see what you do with the rest!!❤
Thanks again for sending this incredible piece of wood! It's so good!
It's great to see such range in the colors of the woods!
thanks, I agree! love how this is coming together!
I know it is not the state tree of Texas, but would love to see Mesquite represented. Really enjoy listening to your channel!
Lucky for you, state trees are not allowed on this map since I already did one made out of state trees!
@justinthetrees I sense a beautiful piece of mesquite tree in the shape of texas in the future

Something about this video and all the videos you make is so wholesome, I just can’t put my finger on it
I'd love to see red spruce done for New York. It's a groovy tree that has a bunch of fun uses, and it helps highlight a side of New York that tends to fly under the radar in most people's mental image of the state.
That red streaking is absolutely GORGEOUS! It's a shame that it fades :(
I love Box Elder trees. It's the Box Elder bugs that can go away.
Guess you’ve got to learn to accept them if you love the trees.
The wood looks great! But the recipe seems even better, I'm writing it down as I type this. Gotta love homemade bread 🤌
I cant wait to see this series grow! The various species of wood and the uniques patterns are so beautiful
Would love to see Red Mulberry or American Linden done for Illinois! TBH, I love mulberries picked right off the tree when ripe! Also...I may have gone through a list of Native Illinois trees and like...6 of them were already talked about on the channel/tiktok lol
okthanksbyeeee!
I am very excited for you to do Kentucky again, mainly because I want to see the coffeetree version! There’s a cafe in my hometown named after the KY Coffeetree.
I'd love to see NJ done in Pitch Pine, since that tree makes up 90% of the Pine Barrens.
Your skill of making a video both entertaining and wildly informative is truly unique.
Manitoba Maple's are one of the few tree's that we've got up here in Alberta. Keep making great content! - Jasper
I love how this is a woodwork and cooking channel, and does both good.
holy crap that's some gorgeous wood
On todays episode of 'holy s### its 3AM and I still can't sleep' I have discovered that I am now addicted to woodworking content. I've seen your videos before, but I have never watched them this late at night.
Those were some gorgeous pieces
You should definitely do pecan wood for texas next that would be sooo cool
Been there done that for the state tree map. :)
That bread looked so delicious. Now I want to look up more maple based recipes!
Love your videos, that box elder looks gorgeous
I enjoy how you really take the parts of the wood with interesting patterns and shades to make every piece stand out from the rest.
As a proud South Dakotan I love it! You're work is always awesome to watch.
Yes I agree.
Piñon, New Mexico
Thank you for sharing your work with us. It's spectacular. Trees are the best and I'm grateful for this channel dedicated to them.
Having just completed a certificate course in baking/pastry, seeing you saw into that bread while it was still warm had me like 😱😱😱
Letting it cool may be better for bread’s structure, but warm bread is too good to pass up!
@@pecanarchy to be fair it was one of the hardest lessons to learn in class 😅 even when you know better, the siren song of warm bread calls to me.
Box Elder is such a beautiful wood, especially when it's freshly cut. Obviously you can't use it for woodworking until it's dried out, but when it's fresh the reds are SO bright.

That bread looks amazing, and so does the map piece. Such a beautiful tree
really hope you do mesquite for arizona, its so important for the ecosystem out here and the growth of the saguaro with its shade
The wood had a very cool ”design" on it, great vid man I'm loving this new map series
found you on shorts. awesome history bits with woodwork and culinary practice too.
I lived in Box Elder SD for a time and I never realized there were so many box elder bugs because of the trees haha I always thought it was a natural phenomenon 😂 learn something new everyday
Love to see this wood! I bought a large piece to make dice boxes from, and it’s lovely to work with. Super soft, but really striking.
Great choice in box elder for South Dakota! Some of our favorite trees on our acreage here!!
I love how much information you have to share about these trees!!!!!!!
I'd LOVE to see my home state Illinois done, I have no clue what kind of trees are native to my area, but am highly interested to find out!
These videos are a bastion of positivity on my feed. I appreciate this.
You should do the Jack Pine for Minnesota!
I really appreciate all the interesting species information. I'm studying ecology in school and this is my jam 🎉
I really liked the longer video!!
Wow, I had no idea! We have a box maple in the backyard. Definitely appreciate it even more now. And I think the maple Beatles are really pretty, I had never seen them before until I was in south Saskatchewan, which, they were everywhere!
having another horrible day and this video made me smile. thank you :) i dont know if you realize how huge of an impact you have. truly, thank you
Cottonwood in Nebraska!! I know that's also the state tree, but it's also ecologically very important there!
When you pick up Miles it reminds me of the German Shepherd I had growing up, in the morning when my sister and I went to school my dad would pick her up and wave her paw or her tail at the kids in the school bus 😄
I’ve fully fallen in love with your videos. We need more views on these!
As a South Dakota viewer I really enjoy it.
I’ve been waiting for a new video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love this series and all the info and extra projects!!
Always a treat when he uploads, got me interested in wood carving, and I now have a large amount of spoons.
That end bit. Talk about "knock on wood" xD Legit tho, this is looking awesome! Looking forward to Wisconsins!
i might be in the minority but i love boxelder bugs! they are native to my state (minnesota) and they're kind of useless as far as creatures go but i think that's why i like them. boxelder trees are also native to my state but i've never taken the time to go find them. after seeing how beautiful the wood is, i should go find some! i'm not a woodworker but watching this channel has made me want to be more connected to the nature that is native to my area.
i'm not sure if you have wood picked out for minnesota yet, but i think the tamarack would be a great choice! i grew up going camping and hiking with my family across the state and i remember walking around tamarack forests up north. i also remember my parents telling me how tamaracks lost their needles every year even though they looked like a pine tree.
thank you for your channel and the various series you do! they are entertaining and informative and helps me feel grounded with how crazy the world is getting these days.
I believe this man was a master chef and still is
yessss was jut hoping for another video in this series!!
I think the way box elder bugs sun themselves in a group like that is super cute!

I had this on in the background and only realized it was South Dakota during the final portion. I am a happy South Dakotan viewer.
I love the long form content😊
This guy is so cool. I get to learn about trees, the US, and food in 9 minutes.
This is like comfort food you just want more.
All 5 of your South Dakota viewers should love that
Could you please do Arizona, I feel as though the state is sometimes over looked. Love your work!
Edit: Maybe you could use a desert willow
New favorite channel of all time!!!!!!
might have to actually come back to this, this bread looks great
This is such a great video! I really want to try that bread recipe now, it looks delicious!

South Dakota, South Korea... Good choice of the twist on korean-style milk bread!
You forgot the most important use of box elder maple... nearly taking my eyes out every time I walk in any riparian habitat ever.
id love to see a tennessee magnolia peice! I love this series and its my favorite wood :)
love from the south
I’ve always loved box elder beetles
Yo that loaf looks so fire 🔥 . Wish I had the room for a stand mixer 😅
And the state piece looks too cool! Who can hate a wood with that awesome red streaking ?
The colours are so beautiful! The bread looks so fluffy, gonna save this to make it later❤️
loving this series! could you possibly do idaho with the ponderosa pine?
For Kentucky, maybe you could use Red Maple wood (12.2% of all of Kentucky's trees and 1 of 2 commercialy important trees in Appalachia) or Kentucky Coffeetree (mainly because it could give you something to make edible wise that is related to the tree)

Here’s a challenge-Rhode Island out of red maple, our state tree. Doughboys, clam cakes, and chowder are also classic cuisine here
That bread looks so freaking good, so jealous
You should do Louisiana and show more videos on bald cypress, it’s wood is great for furniture and is quite beautiful
I’m imagining stepping foot into this man’s house and just everything. being made. of wood
Minnesota next!!!
“A lot of you probably know this tree really well.” I’m from the PNW, so if it’s not some kind of conifer I’m basically Jon Snow cuz I know nothing. Interesting to learn about a new tree!
Wow, box elder is beautiful! Now I'm craving maple, darn it
You’re so cool. I love every part of your videos.
For Kansas, you should go with the Osage Orange tree.
Oh man, this state is gonna be a centerpiece of the map. Tough for other states to top it at this rate.
The easiest way to tell if something is poison ivy is to jump in and find out
Maybe a shagbark hickory for North Carolina? I’m also wondering if you could get your hands on pawpaw wood-could work for most states in the southeast, if I recall the range correctly
One of few channels whose uploads I immediately watch

Omg, Just found you, loving how you combine it all! Just subscribing! Question….boxwood elder, how to enhance the red? Didn’t get to it soon enough!!
despite having lots of box elder bugs, i was not familiar with the box elder itself until i went to college. I was absolutely TERRIFIED of walking in natural areas because there were so many plants I thought were poison ivy....
I has listening to this while getting ready for the day... why are we making bread?
Would love to see my home state of Montana up there.
