Welcome to Ian Mac Woodturning! In this weeks turning video I used a piece of Leylandii, it's a regular on this channel but generally isn't used for anything, not even for firewood due to the high amount of resin in the wood. I think it's really underrated though so I'll keep using it!

If you are enjoying our videos then please do comment and like the video as it helps us massively, we really appreciate the support.

    The wood looks like a piece of Western Red Cedar. Don't know why its considered the most hated wood. Native American Indians of the Pacific Northwest used it for years. The stips of the bark were woven for many items. They carved canoes from them, as well as totem poles. The turning looked nice.

    As a now production woodworker and 30 veteran of emergency medical services , for the love of god drop a 6-8” bubble around that bandsaw blade, and never cut a round log on a bandsaw with out using some type of jig that holds the log(not you’re hands!

    I have never seen a drill bit static and the wood revolving before. Thanks.

    I would not have believed it. It’s a fantastic piece. I’m on the look out for some leylandii.

    Very Nice. We're going to take up a collection and get you a bigger brush...........

    Wow what a beautiful piece of wood. I think you really meant to say “the most hated tree in the world” because of all the disputes it has caused. Would love to get my hands on some of that but something tells me it’s probably not available in Texas.
