This juniper stump is the biggest thing I've put on my lathe so far.

[@DripSoup639]

You know Justin, I really gotta say, I love that fact that you don’t put background music. I really enjoy listening to the actually sound of the wood turning and carving without and “interruptions” (Aside from you taking ofc 😅). I’ve watched essentially every video of yours and I’m loving them. Keep up the great work!!❤

[@MichaelConover-o6z]

I AGREE!! It’s very nice to just hear the woodworking without any large interruptions.😅

[@brandonscott2851]

that oil really brought that wood to life very nicely

[@davidfalterman8713]

Good to see that Miles did get his rightful camera time at the end, curled up on the couch 😊

[@samwiserowe1834]

The shape of the finished bowl reminds me of a mushroom. You ended up with a really interesting organic look by keeping the live edge.

[@TSIRKLAND]

10:56 - you can really see the sawdust spouting down the channel in that chisel! wow!

[@MrWM-op3iv]

"What's in That Pile?" is my favourite rubric

[@DripSoup639]

Hey sorry for asking, what’s a Rubric?

[@geri_with_a_g]

​@@DripSoup639 it's a heading on a document or a category on a list

[@afirewasinmyhead]

I liked watching the bowl take shape without knowing exactly how it would turn out. But of course it turned out beautiful. 😊 I love juniper. 🌲

[@0rfinKing]

The second I saw the shape i thought to myself, "that would make an amazing cake display pedestal." As always, you're vision came out beautiful!

[@shamapes]

Factors of 1000X when Miles joined in the frame :D He looks so so comfortable!

[@ewanhawley1108]

Can’t wait to see the end of the Canada map as a proud Nova Scotia native!

[@zoepierce2300]

Always waiting for that✨chatoyancy✨

[@cybulskiya8725]

Idea: make a wooden cocktail shaker out of juniper wood and make a gin fizz

[@avivacrichton6922]

I love it.

[@moontravellerjul]

the chatoyancy around the tree rings is just sublime. great work at celebrating them!

[@rizrhys1]

This episode is perhaps the most expressive and artistic we've seen you.

[@Min-tea]

I absolutely love this channel, it feels very homey, like a nice, cozy rest stop among all the chaos online. It’s very comforting and inviting. I also appreciate the respect and love of nature, all around an amazing channel and a wonderful vibe

[@Ash-oj3xv]

this channel feels like a grandpa/Uncle sharing their love of woodworking with you while you visit for the weekend. I love it a lot and completely agree with you!

[@collosalFeatures]

I agree too

[@mattrinne]

If anyone gives you a hard time for that watch tab remember, they're a badge of honor. Unless you got sunburned doing something terrible. Like burying a body in the desert before cutting up an old juniper... Love the bowl!

[@nathanpeters9468]

Suggestion: new series "Find the Chatoyancy" featuring wood you might not expect or there might just be a little Chatoyancy in every wood with the right piece to turn. Start with NC Dogwood. Need a new jingle for that series

[@MakinnaB24]

Oh my goodness! I would LOVE for this to happen!

[@KeeganNaser]

Tree loving Wisconsinite here! When you make Wisconsin for your wooden map of the US, I think Tamarack Larch is a great candidate! As the Cranberry state, we have a lot of acidic bogs, where cranberries are native- as well as acid loving Tamarack trees, which grow in bogs all across the state. Please consider!

[@benjackson7585]

This is my favorite youtube channel

[@masonbrooks4274]

Woooooo! Tree-mendouse!😂 I love this woodworking because it’s so enjoyable to watch!😊

[@moontravellerjul]

need to make myself a cool rock display bowl.

[@theawecat27]

i wasn't sure how it would work as you were doing it but it ended up so beautifully by the end. like a flower

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

I was surprised at the warm color I found when I applied finish to a scrap of juniper that I mounted my house numbers on. It really is a beautiful wood and you brought out every ounce of it in your bowl. The growth rings are especially cool, and a nice way to memorialize the life of the tree. Looks like your work is dog approved!

[@lauren-kitsuneroach]

the growth rings!!! oh man!!! oh man!!! i know nothing about woodworking but i could watch your videos for hours, so pretty

[@katesanders4786]

You haven’t posted in a while and I was missing your videos,, so glad you’re back!!😁😁😁

[@circuitsalsa]

What a lovely piece Justin! I really enjoy the way you care so much about the life story of the trees you work with. Each item you craft is, in part, a memorial to a life that you clearly wish to honor. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@sharonyost3807]

That is a beautiful piece love the color shape seeing the rings I just love wood glad you share the pretties !

[@loganmcgilligan5769]

Love the content man! You definitely are one of my favorite KZbinrs around. I can’t wait to see what wood you use for my home state of Iowa. For a state that is stereotypically known for pigs, flat lands and corn, there really is a lot of unique trees that could come from our state.

[@Alex-RealApplebees]

Eastern Red-Cedar would be cool, with its long history being used for fence posts on family farms statewide

[@loganmcgilligan5769]

@@Alex-RealApplebees I would agree. There’s a lot of those growing in the eastern part of the state.

[@Justinthetrees]

Have a couple fun ones in mind for Iowa!

[@loganmcgilligan5769]

There really is a lot to choose from!

[@infra_Gray]

Fantastic compliment to the perfect precision vases. I like how it kind of looks like a toadstool

[@lwilso9152]

The parts when you finally get to the center of the bowl are so satisfying

[@juliedalgardno3361]

Awesome 👍! I'm so glad it didn't fly apart! Stay safe. It's really a beautiful piece.

[@ryanvadis]

Looks lovely! I like the uneven edges, makes it look really rustic and so so beautiful! If the oil is food safe it would also make a great fruit bowl or serving tray for finger food.

[@petertenoven3282]

I love how it turned out, i did miss the usual info dump on this kind of tree. Although i can get how much extra work it is.

[@just_jays_life]

I love watching you experiment and learn. Your Juniper bowl looks amazing!

[@nixhixx]

Really gorgeous, and yes, the shape honors the tree!

[@FLAPPYMILKER]

Its so simple but so interesting

[@naolink.]

Woodturning is something i really want to do, i hope in another life i can achieve it.

[@HorusBloodmoon]

I really enjoyed the longer scenes that showed you working the piece.

[@Juniper_berries]

Watching that juniper log spin was just hypnotic. The rythm of the gouge just complimented it so well.

[@scratchinmagician]

Being someone who has lived in Utah for so long, it’s so fun hearing about just how the tree has adapted to living here.

[@julianasheridan2525]

First time watching one of your full videos (seen lots of shorts). Bowl looks fantastic. I bet the shop smells great when working. Always a great unique scent.

[@Siriuslyyy]

The rings are great The watch tan line is greater

[@Justinthetrees]

it, too, tells a life’s story

[@Siriuslyyy]

@@Justinthetrees great minds etc.

[@JacksonMack3742]

This one particular video had a lot of silent, almost hypnotic space in between dialogue, where we are inmersed in the wood working process as if we are there. Silently working, watching, softly smiling, a mega dose of exhilaration for all the patience junkies, being a part of turning one expression of life on earth into another as it moves with you now and next on its own accord, motionless, back to it's home as earth. A mirror so damn good you didnt even notice the reflection of one. Didn't know it was all you.

[@jesteraceae8826]

oh man, i was skeptical that this was gonna work but this is a real work of art! you had a very delicate but firm grip on this. turned out amazing!

[@offbrandneko1232]

The greatest jingle ever made! What's in that ✨️piiillleee✨️

[@Fabian_A86]

Damn, room vibes +50-60 from that single bowl :-)

[@amiiranamastii5306]

watching you turn is so peaceful and calming 🥰 the asmr of the lathe and the tool on the wood is just …. 👌

[@dallaspaytonlynam1185]

You’ve inspired me to start woodturning. As much as I love your other videos, I really love watching a project in more of a real time setting. Taking notes. I’m sure you’ve gotten a crap-ton of comments suggesting you do some teaching videos. I know I’d sure watch and learn!

[@anonymousbilly3516]

Gorgeous piece, super unique and well done

[@mushroomman4488]

Yes, your back!!!! But take as much time as you want between posts work can be really stressful so take your time. Still excited your back

[@vincepopo7497]

Gorgeous bowl, incredibly well done!

[@hallieissetfree]

The shape turned out amazing! Really cool to see your vision come to life on this one

[@lougert]

I had a really exhausting day, and as I was settling down, I thought, Justinthetrees sounds really good right about now. Thanks for the good vibes for relaxing!

[@likelyelizabeth]

That’s a nice bowl 👍

[@TrapperWorks]

I think it would be Hella neat if you made a chair and turned each individual spindle from a different log in the pile. Even if you don't know how to make a chair it would be amazing!

[@Soupdog4557]

Love your vids keep it up absolutely love your videos

[@pugger420]

beautiful!

[@melissaphillis7247]

Absolutely beautiful

[@kevin-jd5rj]

beautiful piece. it's freaky how quiet your lathe is, especially with such a chunky piece

[@susanburrows5288]

Love the way this piece ended up, shape, chatoyancy and everything!

[@lospagnolofalso]

This turned out amazing! Also, I was getting ready to comment "Why didn't you let Miles be in this after he was asking so insistently?" but then there he was at the end! 😃

[@maypasifiki9360]

Such a beautiful piece ❤❤

[@Jackie_XIII]

I need to send you some wood native to my area. Bald cypress or southern Live oak are both amazing trees and look amazing. We even had a bald cypress that was over 3500 yeras old, The Senator!

[@samanthaenrico5246]

That is absolutely STUNNING!! Excellent job as always Justin!

Hi Justin I was wondering if you could make a chess board with chess pieces out of wood. It would look really good like everything else you make. Keep the good work up!😊

[@693iq8]

Yeah that would be cool

[@dragonluvrcatluvr9689]

My grandfather made a gaming table with a chess or checker board top. It is beautiful. You have so many pretty types of wood! I think you could build a beautiful game board or table!

Have you ever considered turning madrone or manzanita? Where I live in California a species of manzanita grows with a trunk like a tree

ohhh it turned out so beautiful!

Beautiful piece! That tree will live on.

[@sethgreenwood6488]

What do you suggest to those who do not have access to the space (garage, yard, etc.) to do this kind of stuff but are wanting to?

[@Justinthetrees]

Good question! Lots of cities have co-op maker space/shop type places, check out classes in your area, look for wood turning/woodworking clubs, etc

[@chai4768]

I wonder if shaping it with the table/band/circular saw a little first would have helped....maybe just to chop off the uneven weight on some of the sides

[@Justinthetrees]

Would’ve helped but then would’ve lost that live edge I wanted, so was more than willing to suffer through it

[@nateking6629]

Amazing as always, Justin! I envy your skills and tasteful home decor.

Really beautiful piece, really raw and wild !

I’ve started to notice that Justinthetrees is my go-to KZbinr when i’m doing well. I used to watch him for a long time up until I spiralled then I did nothing but watch shorts. now i’ve started to get my life back together and i’m genuinely happy again and I started watching his videos and its only now clicked.
