Turning cypress

I’m not too sure it wouldn’t have too much whip to turn kinda depends on the log I spose.

I am pretty sure all wood except maybe petrified can be turned, I am uncertain about what whip is? I would have that log in my wood pile I do know that!

It’ll turn ‘cause it is very soft wood. Dry it well before tryin’ to turn it.

I see no reason it would not turn. I am turning goblets from Elm and they said you can’t turn Elm.

The tree is somewhat inaccessible is why I asked. My son found it while hunting and he crossed a creek with rather steep banks to get to it. He is going to see if he can find a way around the creek so he could get to it with my Honda atv. If he can find a way around we may try to pull the whole tree out with the atv.

I tolld him to get me a blank from the short end and I would try it and see what it looked like. I turned 2 bowls from the chinaberry tree I cut from the burn pile of my friend the land clearer a couple of week ago. They were green and I put in paper sack. I will check them probably first of March.

The only cypress I turned was kiln dried. I like it.

Hariy this tree is a downed tree and no idea how long it has been down. I don’t know if it would be considered green or dry. Probably somewhere in between. Haven’t seen it yet so don’t know anything right now.

By the way I like the tower bird house. I haven’t did much segmented turning as is kinda time consuming. JMHO
