Tossed an oak burl on the lathe today and some neat stuff was sure hiding in there

Back at it again with more tree flavored ice cream, this time the chocolate mold making process nearly broke me lol youtu.be/qUtCZwUbMic?...

Had so much fun making the oak wood ice cream that I decided to turn this all into a full blown series youtu.be/xMwZb9U_kUs

I love scrub jays so much. I can’t explain it but they always remind me of Bernie Sanders.

Decided to mess around and try and test my longstanding belief that neat wood could make neat jewelry.

A tremendous watch. Put perfectly into words the thing I’ve been mulling over for a real long time. Great great stuff.

Had a tiny piece of redwood burl leftover from the state tree map and am very excited I finally found something cool to make with it. Stay tuned.

This book dropping at what feels like the perfect time. Required reading for what’s ahead of us. (Also earlier this year I planted some of Miles’s ashes under a serviceberry tree so I’m even more of a big ol’ target than you’d already expect.)

Made this from a log pulled off a trash pile, never gets old finding this kinda stuff hiding under a layer of weathered gray bark. Nature! It’s neat!

Get to know a tree! Today it’s perhaps my favorite species of pine: the Limber Pine, Pinus flexilis. •They’re big and lumpy and gnarled •They can get live four 1,000+ years •Big, friendly cones! •They are, INDEED, limber (helps them survive at extreme altitudes and sway to the wind

idk what to do here, if nothing else, here’s a really cool juniper log
