One of my horticulture professors said a good arborist can tell the type of tree by the bark more accurately than the leaves and that just blew my mind.
This is literally just so inspiring. Those roots would’ve just been taken to the dump and instead you’ve made something gorgeous out of it. It makes me wish I wasn’t a poor college student and could buy an entire shops worth of woodworking equipment
i used to have a dogwood in my yard when i was a kid, before we moved. my mom always told me and my brother to not climb in it, but we never listened. i think i even took a nap in it once. we loved that tree, man. we eventually moved away, and i don't know if the tree's still there, but it is on google maps, and that makes me happy.
Hey Justin I just wanted to say thank you for being the inspiration for me a high schooler to start woodturning I’ve only been at it for about a month but I’ve made a bowl and pen and made plenty of mistakes but with every mistake I learn something.
Pro tip: Hang a plumb line (or a string with a weight) off three random points around the circumference, while hanging the random object from the same point. Trace along the plumb line on the surface of the object. Where the lines intersect is your centre of mass.
The colors of the piece and the shape turned out amazing!! I'd love to have that as a coffee table center or similar. I definitely missed your videos, excited for more! I'm hopefully going to go out foraging for young pine needles to try and make some pine needle sugar for the first time - I think I'd love to try some of the recipes you've done, and I know some of my family would love it, too! Been trying to bring more handmade things to family gatherings
I'm enjoying a bit of solara cask whiskey while I watch. I'm impressed with how well wood lathe tools keep their edge on interrupted cuts like this root section.
Welcome back! Going back to the basics is great! Don't overthink your content - I'll watch woodworking any day. For cleaning off the root ball, would you try using pressurized water or no?
Hi justinthetrees! Just wanted to tell that your content is absolutely awesome, and say thank you for sharing your hobby and the knowledge about it with us all! Also great god, why‘d you include santa‘s reindeers in the thanking? Poor Rudolph lol.
It's good to see you back! 😊😊 looking forward to see new stuff coming on the channel! 😊 And loved the little linguistic excurse about the word 'earth'😂 And what a nice piece it turned out to be!
Your videos are a genuine treat for me. They provide so much joy and calm, and I love to see what you create. This was a nice surprise on this Thursday evening.
Hernias really suck dude, so congrats on the successful surgery! My dad just had his doubles hernia done(which makes like 5 or 6 in his entire life) just before Christmas while my Uncle had his fixed a bit less than 2 months ago. I assume it was done laparoscopically like my dad's which doesn't carry to much of a risk, save for the screen failing, so here's to a hopefully quick and uncomplicated recovery! My Uncle wasn't so lucky due to having severe and thick scar tissue from being stabbed when he was younger, which starts from under the diaphragm and ending just a bit below the belly button. They ended up opening him sternum to groin, removed the scar tissue before finishing with the hernia. Despite being 50-something days later and he still has a ways to go to fully heal.
Glad you’re doing better my man! Great video! We all struggle with the creative process from time to time, I can only imagine how much more difficult it is to film that process and have it on display too. Love your stuff man. On a side note, I’m an arborist that services Utah County and Salt Lake if you ever have any tree questions or anything. Love to talk about trees.
2024 has been a hell of a year so far. been having a rough time lately and especially today, so I was really happy to see this in my sub box. exactly what I needed today, thank you man
I love how it turned out! I think if you try to do a similar project again maybe you could contact a resin artist? When you were taking us through it at 10:55 I just had an image of the piece as it was but filled in with resin to make a whole bowl and it looked awesome in my head lol! Wood and resin is very popular and you’re such a happy and kind guy, I’m sure if you found the right artist you would have a great collab! All love, I can’t wait to see what you do next!
The moment you lose the thing you just had in your had (at 3:58) is sooo relatable. Basically any time I make anything I’m like “where that f did I just put that?? I was just holding it!” lololol
Just finished "Around the World in 80 Trees" by Jonathan Drori. I know you generally feature native trees but I'd highly recommend it, some very cool tree facts and even includes your favourite word 'Chatoyancy' and has a reference to Pando in the Quaking Aspen chapter.
I love the wood! I might have been inclined, when realizing what it was going to look like inside, to stop, glue a block in, flip it back over and turn the base more into a platter-like shape. However, as it is, it's interesting and attractive, so I call it a win!
looks like the little bowl that sits by the front door to hold your keys, or spare change, i think it looks amazing, idk anything about wood but it looks cool
I was initially thinking this would be a really cool bowl holder, kind of like a bowl pedestal in a way, but it turned out super cool. Thanks for all of your content, it's really fun to watch :)
I had a large hernia fixed in September, it took months to be normal again. I have my next hernia surgery in June, and then one final one at some point after. Take time to recover properly! Happy to wait if it means you‘re better.
A fun fact about plants: Because of a fungi that can connect to the plant root's, they can communicate with eachother, some species might help eachother, while others, can ruin eachother.
Nice bowl! I always thought roots were a mirror image of the canopy above but learned a while back they actually grow like you showed us. Pretty awesome to think how they would be all interconnected in forests.. Cheers from northern Ontario!
so excited to see another video! dogwoods are some of my favorite trees, they remind me of home back east. sorry to hear you needed surgery, and I hope you're feeling better! (btw I ran into you at Dune 2 a few weeks ago and it was so wild to see you! I didn't know I was in the same state as you :))
I'm glad the surgery went well and you're back, messing around with wood in the funnest ways. The "I don't like this" face and the step back to give it some space as it spins up: that's how I feel about the whole lathe process. I fear it but respect it. I want to try it but I'm far too much of a chicken. The colour in that dogwood even before the oil was beautiful! Also RIP to how much your dog is shedding 😂
Yay, you do have videos using dogwood. I have a dogwood growing right outside of my window, so I have a soft spot for this HARD wood :) You didn't have any dogwood videos on your facebook...I'm glad you do on your youtube.
I wondered why I hadn't seen any of your videos lately. I'm glad you're on the mend! And this bowl you're making is freaking me out but I've got to watch it to the end! I know it's going to be fantastic
Very cool looking piece. Welcome back. Next time you turn something awkward like that, turning between centers can work well before you establish your mortice/tenon.
Necroposting (if this counts as such) to note: While it is often pretty interesting to watch more "professional" videos on woodturning, and woodworking in general, it is in many ways more beneficial (for me, and likely a lot of other people that are passingly interested in the sport, and may one day try their hand at it) to watch someone such as yourself - a self-proclaimed amateur. Why? Because you have real problems. If I go and watch a "professional's guide to beginning woodworking" what do they talk about? They talk about things they think beginners need to know (usually stuff they wish they had known), such as equipment, perhaps sourcing, business acumen, safety/PPE, the massive costs you might not think of, etc. And that's all well and good. If I ever decided to get a lathe and start turning wood, that would absolutely be extremely useful information. What they don't often talk about is the stuff *you* talk about. Watching the work, not the tool. The hardness of this specific wood versus another, and how that can be an asset rather than a static challenge. Inner monologue, and how that affects your interests in a given moment. The thought process behind looking at a pile of logs and seeing Potential, juxtaposed with the process of changing your focus as you go and working through challenges to produce something that was invisible. And hey, perhaps it is a general sense of humility - that sort of "I should have known x." mentality really gets in the way of actual idiots that just want to be able to make mistakes and get something cool at the end of it.
Another interesting fact about roots, the big chunky parts you are carving are not the parts initially which suck up water from the ground, the roots which suck the water up are hair fine and the best way to explain it is think about the lungs in your body, in the lungs you have small parts which transfer the oxygen into your body and the large part of the lungs is like a bellows, with tree roots. The very fine hair like ones suck the water up and it gets transferred up into the larger parts of the roots. I can’t remember the exact name of these roots hairs but it’s very interesting how it works, that’s why when you see these machines which dig the Earth up with the roots when replanting trees, or just moving them, the earth is took with them to help protect these fine haired roots and means when they are replanted they have a much higher chance of survival
One of my horticulture professors said a good arborist can tell the type of tree by the bark more accurately than the leaves and that just blew my mind.
Arborist, also known as tree wizards apparently.
Arborist here.
Definitely not.
@@markduret9538wait now we don’t know which is true haha
fun fact: Arborist comes from the Latin word Arbor meaning tree
babe wake up new justinthetrees dropped
How did you get in my house?
@@YoursUntruly the window was open
@@YoursUntruly our house now
These comments are always so weird. Nobody actually talks like that, especially not someone who has a girlfriend/fiancé/wife/boyfriend/husband.
@@Quazrr Who hurt you, lil guy?
No way he hit us with root words along with the root ball
Absolutely satisfying video
It looks like a perfect platter for a big magical orb to ponder with your friends
This is literally just so inspiring. Those roots would’ve just been taken to the dump and instead you’ve made something gorgeous out of it. It makes me wish I wasn’t a poor college student and could buy an entire shops worth of woodworking equipment
Don't apologize for taking time to take care of yourself, that's always important. This was a fun project and I love how it turned out!
I've missed you too! I'm glad you're feeling up to diving into the pile
i used to have a dogwood in my yard when i was a kid, before we moved. my mom always told me and my brother to not climb in it, but we never listened. i think i even took a nap in it once. we loved that tree, man. we eventually moved away, and i don't know if the tree's still there, but it is on google maps, and that makes me happy.
It was over an hour after watching this video that the “rootin’ tootin’” chatoyancy joke actually connected in my head 😂
the pink color of the roots are so pretty! that was definitely a scary piece of wood to turn so i'm it turned out well
Hey Justin I just wanted to say thank you for being the inspiration for me a high schooler to start woodturning I’ve only been at it for about a month but I’ve made a bowl and pen and made plenty of mistakes but with every mistake I learn something.
Watch Tomislav Tomasic and Richard Raffin for the best woodturning instruction on RUclips or possibly anywhere.
Pro tip: Hang a plumb line (or a string with a weight) off three random points around the circumference, while hanging the random object from the same point. Trace along the plumb line on the surface of the object. Where the lines intersect is your centre of mass.
Im glad youre healing! Thanks for sharing your learning in this video ❤
Wellcome back!! Hope you recovered well from the operation
I was sure he was going to say "root ball chatoyency". I'll admit though, that "rootin' tootin' chatoyency" is pretty funny too 😄😄😄
The colors of the piece and the shape turned out amazing!! I'd love to have that as a coffee table center or similar. I definitely missed your videos, excited for more!

Yay you're back!!! We missed you. Glad to see you looking well after your surgery, sorry you had to have that. 🤩
Welcome back, you've been missed! Here in N.C. the dogwood is our state flower (which should be popping out at any moment.)
Just happy you're safe and happy

Probably someone subscribed to the Patreon under that name XD what do they have against Rudolph?!
Glad you are back at it & hopefully getting stronger every day.
“Having been surgered” XD def gonna use that when I get top surgery for suuuuree
Dont you mean sure-gery 😂
Good luck with your top surgery dude!
I can safely guess why. Reconsider.
Gender dysphoria for the win! No but really I feel bad for you
@@BenisDD reconsider your life
It's good to see you back! 😊😊 looking forward to see new stuff coming on the channel! 😊

Your videos are a genuine treat for me. They provide so much joy and calm, and I love to see what you create. This was a nice surprise on this Thursday evening.
Love the full length content!!
The best part of turning stuff like that is the learning curve. Nice one buddy.
Feels like so long, I missed your videos, they're calm and help my brain slow down
really enjoyed the commentary about the thought process and the info on the root process glad to see you back hopefully a new map piece is on the way
Hernias really suck dude, so congrats on the successful surgery! My dad just had his doubles hernia done(which makes like 5 or 6 in his entire life) just before Christmas while my Uncle had his fixed a bit less than 2 months ago.

Always a good day when you upload another video
I had a large hernia fixed in September, it took months to be normal again. I have my next hernia surgery in June, and then one final one at some point after.
Take time to recover properly!
Happy to wait if it means you‘re better.
New piece from the pile!!! Yay!!!
Glad you’re feeling better. The bowl looks beautiful!
Happy to have you back! Beautiful piece once again!
No need to apologize!! We’re all just glad you’re feeling better 😊
Glad you're back and safe. Thank you for another great video!
Such talent and skill. Beautiful piece of wood 👍👍
A fun fact about plants: Because of a fungi that can connect to the plant root's, they can communicate with eachother, some species might help eachother, while others, can ruin eachother.
Happy to see you back, and happy to hear that both surgery and recovery went smoothly.
Welcome back! I hope recovery went smoothly and that you're feeling better! Loved this video so much, the bowl turned out incredible 😍
Nice to see you back! Glad you’re all right after the surgery!
Absolutely love the bowl platter!! Such gorgeous colours 😍🥰
Nice bowl! I always thought roots were a mirror image of the canopy above but learned a while back they actually grow like you showed us. Pretty awesome to think how they would be all interconnected in forests.. Cheers from northern Ontario!
Just the video for a lazy start to a weekday morning! What a great day already.
Happy to see you back
Glad to hear you're doing better! This is a lot of fun to watch
Love your work dude glad you’re healing ❤❤
great to have you back, and beautiful bowl! 💚🪵⚔️
Looks great mate well done, I like your approach to the job at hand 👍
it looks absolutely beautiful
I was wondering where you were!! Hope your surgery went well and you are fixed up and feeling better!!
so excited to see another video! dogwoods are some of my favorite trees, they remind me of home back east. sorry to hear you needed surgery, and I hope you're feeling better! (btw I ran into you at Dune 2 a few weeks ago and it was so wild to see you! I didn't know I was in the same state as you :))
It looks absolutely amazing! Glad ur feeling alright.
I’m glad you are sorted and home now. Stay safe
The comeback is always far greater than any setback. Glad to have you back!
Awesome video man. Amazing tree. Can't wait to see more❤
dogwood is one of my favorite trees i grew up in Pennsylvania and there was always a lot of them around i love their flowers☘️
I'm glad the surgery went well and you're back, messing around with wood in the funnest ways.

Oh those colors are lovely.

welcome back! missed these long form videos so much, your new camera angles are lovely
So glad you are feeling well enough t be back here!
Nobody should ever complain about your awesome content and passion.
I’d be super interested in a video of you doing a deep-dive into explaining tree root systems!
Awesome!!! And no rocks!! Thanks and keep them coming.
I’m so happy you’re back. Seems like 2024 has been hard on you so far. Hugs and prayers that all goes well for you from here on.
glad to see you back! this video is awesome, I absolutely love the Cornus genus and this piece turned out awesomely weird!
Magnolia wood smells so great. Love it!
Outstanding! Great job!
there was a art piece near a place i lived that had trees planted upside down so the roots were out. the root part reminded me of this
It’s eclectic & pretty.
The shitoiyoancy (spelling?) is remarkable.
Definitely worth the journey.❤🎉🎉😊
Missed ur videos. Glad u're back ❤
It looks so good!

Ah, I've missed you 🥺 I'm glad you are feeling better 🎉🥳
I love your videos, their so satisfying but so interesting I can't fall asleep, I just started watching you and now I can't stop.
Yessss, my favorite wood guy's back!
We missed you! Glad you're ok! We want more trees especially edible ones 😊
Love this piece and love you. Glad you healthy and back ready to go :)
