Making a Map of the US Out of Wood From Each Official State Tree - Compilation

[@Justinthetrees]

Getting lots of comments about the format: as I mention in the intro it’s vertical because I made this series for TikTok and after joining KZbin I got a lot of requests to add a compilation here. But good news, I'm making brand new bigger and better map where we get to choose 50 all new trees! If you liked this series this one is even better, trust me.

As a non-American I actually learnt a lot from this video with the main one being that you guys have state trees.

[@trevormims7939]

There are a lot of state symbols with almost every state has a state bird, fish, flower, motto, and of course tree. The reason why the states do this is to appreciate and pay homage to the local nature.

[@EcstaticTeaTime]

Here's another: Washington's state stone is petrified wood, which is what Venice, Italy is sitting on. It was an island built on a large pile of wood, essentially, and so as it has petrified, the city has sunk. I wouldn't wait much longer to visit, if you haven't. And Seattle once burnt to the ground just before the 1900s. The city rebuilt upon the ruins and you can take a tour of some of them. Since the pacific coast interacts with the Juan de fuca plate that has been overdue for sixty years to have a massive earthquake, I also wouldn't wait long to visit here because the city will slide off into the sound.

[@BackYardScience2000]

We also have state reptiles, amphibians, mammals, butterflies, songs, mottos, state "wild animals" (KY's is the gray squirrel), horse breeds (or at least KY does), insects, beverages, dances, fossils, food, rocks, gems, etc. You name it, we have a place for it as a states whatever. We even have state politicians. Though, they're also usually the state morons, as well. So......

[@wolfaja755]

The United States is called the United States because it is just a bunch of states coming together. This means layers of governments from local to state to federal and is why each state votes to elect representatives for the federal government. As the US grew in size things like trees, birds, and flowers because extremely important since things like fedex and easy access to medicine wasn’t available and these were remedies to a lot of problems. With the development of railroads and other vehicles transportation of resources became a lot easier which meant the dependence on local resources generally decreased. Geography plays an important role in development and causes things like state trees to exist especially when the country develops and moves away from local resource dependency.

[@alexisbloodwood5587]

The fact you're able to just pick the correct chunk of wood for each tree from the pile is honestly impressive. I'd look at that pile and go, "yup, that's a pile of wood!"

Youd be suprised how much of america represents the natives perhaps in a bittersweet manner for example illinoise and chicago are both native words yet there is a very small representation of them in the state and practically none in the city

[@mourningdewey]

@@Kellog888 minnesota is either derived from the term "mní sóta" meaning "clear blue water" or the word "mníssota" meaning "cloudy water". many places and landmarks here are named similarly after different dakota words, my favorite example being minnehaha falls (name meaning "curling water"). the name for the greater lakes region is used in our state seal: "mni sóta makoce", which means "the land where the water reflects the skies". however, our state motto/slogan is french! "l'étoile du nord", which as you can probably guess means "the star of the north". in minnesota, we are very proud of the rich history of our native population and learn a lot about it in school.

This is a great wood project book kzbin.infoUgkxkPIWb22DigCqxmlXerCyUF4HCl6eSU2L . Most of the projects use the pallet simply as a source of reclaimed wood not as a recognizable pallet so even if you didn't have a pallet you could make these projects with any reclaimed (or even new) wood. The instructions are excellent. The style is charming and would work with lots of different decor. There are quite a number of projects that involve tiling of teh wood pieces which is a really cool idea and can produce beautiful pieces when working with aged wood.

[@skittlesarecoulorful]

As a Native Washingtonian I gotta say even though the western hemlock is a lovely tree, the state tree at least to me is still the western red cedar. It's far too important to my tribe and I see it far too often to think otherwise! Just like my grandmother I like to collect fallen branches and dry them to burn the boughs to release tension, nothing else has the ability to relax me like it does and I've been obsessed with the smell my whole life.

The smell of cedar is amazing; they are definitely beautiful trees. Even walking in a stand of them will give you a similar effect.

Okay, I just looked it up. Apparently, we were going to make the western red cedar our tree but our state representative at the time said the western hemlock was the backbone of the lumbar industry and better represented the state. Also, we were shamed by Oregon into picking one. Who knew being a state settled for lumbar meant we weren't thinking of proclamating an official tree post WWII (sarcasm, we were probably tired.) leg.wa.gov/Symbols/pages/default.aspx

We'd braid them or weave bracelets with them and I am so happy to learn how long humans have been practicing such an art for. Unfortunately they're all gone now; a tornado went through a few years ago and knocked them all down.

I'm form Oregon and I love the Douglas Fir because it stays green all year long and it drops nice unique pinecones, also during winter when snow falls it stays on the Douglas Fir and looks very nice.

As an Oregonian, I'm proud to see that we were the 2nd state represented. We are a tree loving people

[@rotherthies]

Js but there are tree lovers in far more places then Oregon, granted you have alot of trees but that doesn't give you a monopoly on loving them. Again js..

I just found you. Super cool mini videos or reels or whatever. It totally showed me how really small New Jersey (my home state) is. Awesome. Such dedication. Thank you.

As a native Ohioan I’d like to point out that there is one thing we do with the Buckeye that you didn’t mention We make chocolate candies in its likeness. They’re usually balls of peanut butter with a chocolate layer on the outside and the peanut butter peaking out at one part to make it look like a buckeye, my grandma likes them but I’ve always thought they were way too sweet

I love how most of the states have complicated shapes and edges that require careful shaping and then there's just Colorado over here literally being a rectangle lol. - A Coloradan.

Watching this project come together over the course of an hour was extremely satisfying to me. I especially love the use of different patterns for states who share the same state tree.

[@ColdTakes585]

I love how you included the small island looking bits with states like Michigan and Louisiana so they’re still part of the same piece but they have the in cut to show they’re not connected, super cool effect

So glad you're on KZbin! I had to give up TikTok because it was kinda becoming an addiction but I had a lot of content creators I loved and am now missing out on what they're doing glad I found this again.

Mississipian here, and I loved learning more about my state tree! I've always had a soft spot for them because of how prevalent they are to my state, and I've always loved the flowers. I have to admit, though, that they aren't my favorite: that spot's reserved for the Southern Live Oak. There's a lot of them in my area, and they are truly stunning to look at, I never get tired of seeing them!

Louisianian here! I enjoy the description of our cyprus tree, and how it's been used over the years. The end product is very stunning; and our state looks very accurate! Thank you!

22:00 maple is also used a lot in musical instruments, specifically in the necks of electric guitars and bass guitars

[@FearsomeWarrior]

I’m already a tree nerd and woodworker and know some trees by their tree and their lumber. The entertainment and educational mix of the videos are awesome. Very fun time watching all of them.

[@goingghost8297]

Is there a book with all of this information as well? If not dude should make one. It’d be so fascinating and useful

Hey, I have a Flowering Dogwood tree in my front yard! They’re very beautiful, especially in the spring when the flowers bloom. And the trees are pretty sturdy. Unfortunately, we got hit with a snowstorm that badly damaged our tree, but it still stands! Ours doesn’t turn red, but some of my neighbors’ trees do. It adds a very beautiful spark of white in the street of mainly green when spring comes around.

as a fellow dogwood fan, i love when i see one with it's very beautiful flowers and bark that sometimes it's funny. I don't know many other trees as i have never really payed attention. You are awesome, thank you for this amazing content! ❤
