I'm carving a map of the United States where each state is made out of wood from a uniquely important and interesting tree native to that state!

For episode 6 it's the tree that sparked my love for trees and led me into woodworking as a hobby, the indominable curl-leaf mountain mahogany! Watch me make Nevada out of this absolutely gorgeous wood while learning about its unique and fascinating properties.

Also, stick around to see how I make wooden beads just like the mountain mahogany bracelet you see me wearing all the time.

Make sure to subscribe and watch the next 44 states get made out of 44 more fascinating trees!

Reminder, the only rules for which species of trees I choose for each state are: the tree must be native to the state (no introduced species at all), and no trees that were featured on the official state tree map!
