Will tossing this old aspen log onto my lathe help me make a new [bird] friend? [justinthetrees] (www.youtube.com)

It's the return of "what's in that pile" -- the series that SO MANY PEOPLE (maybe 10 or 20) have been asking me to bring back! This time I dig into the pile, pull out one of my favorite kinds of wood (a trash piece of aspen), and decide to make a platter to help me make friends with a Scrub Jay.

Will it work? Will I need to go back to the drawing board? Do you want to see me continue on this quixotic quest to make one of these grumpy birds my best friend?

He's made ice cream out of trees in ways that never occurred to me. Like, if you told me to make walnut ice cream I'm making butter pecan but with walnuts.

Okay so I'm going to make some butter walnut ice cream now, but that's not the point I was making. Like, I want some of that magnolia ice cream he made.
