I’ll admit I haven’t watched the video but how in the fuck is turning a poison tree into ice cream related to woodworking? Does he at least build an epoxy river table first?
He makes the bowl and spoon, and flavors the ice cream with other parts of the same tree.
This series is a weird mix of woodworking and cooking that doesn't fit perfectly into either community. Still, it's cool to see the process and the channel is about woodworking, so I usually post it in this one

Oh ok fair enough. I thought this was a Nile-Red “I make cotton candy from cyanide” style video.
With my mod hat on, I'm going to allow most if not all JustinTheTrees videos because he does at least some woodworking in each. Two popular series of his include making a map of the US out of each state's offical tree, and making ice cream from a chosen tree, including making a bowl and spoon from its wood.
He talks about the trees themselves a lot, their habitat and range, their niche and life cycle, and their properties as building and cooking material. And that I think is also of interest to a woodworking community.
