That's one KNOTTY piece of wood! #woodworking #trees #shorts

A cool piece of wood and some pollarding info? Yeah, I got you covered.

You call it Pollarding, I'll call it tree body horror

Thank you for not filling those holes with resin. Reminds me of my childhood when I visit my grandparents' house with all the wooden furniture with imperfections like this.

That final vase and the twig in the same color palette was absolutely beautiful.

Beavers actually do this naturally.
When they harvest willow wood they usually don’t kill the trees and that causes them to grow back denser.
I love waking around the beaver dams because these things build and alter the areas they live in almost like people do.

Pollarding has originally done to produce a lot of straight branches to be turned into staves. They started out pruning them right above the ground to make the staves easy to harvest, but then deer kept getting to the young branches, so they started doing it up high out of their reach.

"It's neat. Look how neat. Ok bye!" has the same energy as a kid at show-and-tell, and I love it

[Woodcocce]

That has got to be the single most beautiful piece I've seen from you, in my opinion. And a vocabulary lesson? Heck yes.

Get yourself a partner who looks at you the way Justin looks at wood
EDIT: your minds are dirtier than a burger king kitchen.

You have unintentionally summoned a whole different demographic of knot enjoyers

[seaninness]

Spectacular knotting. Beautiful final piece! Great spot. I'm not a wood worker but I used to stare at wood paneling as a kid, mesmerized by the patterns.

[potchary]

I love knots! Knotting is so satisfying 🥰

[inane]

I genuinely appreciate and love designers that play along imperfections in nature. Thank you for having the vision.

[paulamarie]

I’m so in love…with that vase!!! Really!! Your work blows my mind . I have quite an affinity with trees so your channel brings great joy!!

In Swedish we call it “hamla” and fun fact/story: our willow, originally, is just a little branch from our next door neighbor, that we got after he had “hamlat” his willow. Sooo for the first few years it looked pretty stupid with just a planted branch in our yard 💀 but now ~10 years later we have a cute little willow, guarding our home 🥰

Oh man.... I just went back 4 years into the past. I LOVED watching your content during Covid but I eventually deleted TIKTOK, and haven't seen anything since. Man this brought me back. I even gave an audible "Aw no way!" when I scrolled onto this video. Heck yeah.

We pollard trees, especially willows, to use those supple young shoots for weaving fences, baskets, furniture, wreaths and such. All those willow wreaths you buy in the craft stores start this way, as does every woven willow wicker furniture piece. Those lovely handcrafted baskets have to have a lot of supple willow branches to be made. Here's where that stuff comes from. It's like growing any other crop. The more you know!

[Iruduan]

I am knot dissapointed by how this looks😂

[lizpeterson]

That piece is just stunning. I wood look at that thing all day. If your channel just did wood, I'd watch every day. It's just so beautiful and people take for granted how much we owe to wood. I love wood. Very nice job, and very interesting info about it and how to handle it.

[tracyroake]

Wow! That has to be the most beautiful piece I've seen you turn! Exquisite!
