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 16 it's a tree that's just as great as it sounds: the butternut!

Stick around while I make the state of Wisconsin out of a beautiful piece of butternut wood, carve a wild spiral mixing spoon, and also make maybe my favorite recipe to date: brown butter butternut butternut bread.

Make sure to subscribe and watch the next 35 states get made out of 35 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!
