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.

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!

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.

@jacqueenofthenight Месяц назад

It says in the description that it's leylandii

Is this wood from the Leyland Cyprus tree, commonly used as a landscaping and windbreak tree?

@GolDollar 2 месяца назад

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.

@IanMacWoodturning 2 месяца назад

@mooseknuckle8946 2 месяца назад

Is that wood they make flatbed trucks out of? All blades are dulled by it?

@IanMacWoodturning 2 месяца назад

Quite possibly mate, I wouldn’t say it necessarily dulls the blades, usually just covers them in resin 😂

@tompugh388 Месяц назад

Poplar was used for cart and truck beds I think. I've heard that referred too as a hated wood! I've put tonnes through the woodchip over the years, but couldn't say whether it dulled the blades particularly, but have never sawmillled any.

@scottstubberud1137 Месяц назад

Sorry but what is the wood and y is it the most hated? Looks like a nice piece of pine, which I certainly don’t hate. I’ve made some amazing pieces from it

@IanMacWoodturning Месяц назад

Hey Scott, It's called Leylandii, it's all over the UK and generally isn't used for anything, people don't even use it for fire wood. I like it though, it doesn't seem to warp or crack and dries quite quickly.

I never tried it, but Michigan Jackpine has to be one of the worst.

@HRConsultant_Jeff 2 месяца назад

PLEASE, No one should reach down in front of the band saw blade to remove a piece while it is running and be very careful with round logs going into the blade as the downward force can catch and cause the wood to spin down and possibly draw your hand into the cut as well. Nice piece, but want to warn the lesser experienced as I had a finger cut to the bone by a band saw and it taught me several lessons that my wife will not let me forget.

@alansimpson596 2 месяца назад

I have no wish to cause problems for Ian Mac but presenting a round piece of wood to a bandsaw without wedges is foolhardy. Like most things in life I've learned the hard way and had a serious catch as the wood caught the bandsaw blade and pulled my hands towards it. I got off lightly but one could easily lose a finger or two with such carelessness. To those who are entering woodturning a round piece of timber should only be put to the bandsaw blade if it's wedged in a 'V' shaped piece of wood to prevent it being 'snatched'. Otherwise an excellent example of woodturning from a common piece of wood.

@richjones5432 2 месяца назад

Gentle reader .... if you feel challenged & endangered about a bandsaw, I strongly suggest you stay far away from lathes. They are so much fun .... where as you are probably not.

@richjones5432 2 месяца назад

You are being satirical & this point ??? ..... attempting to be a bit "smart" & ironic ??? The man had the guts & set aside the time to produce this. Do not knock him. You my darling as a closet bully.

@HRConsultant_Jeff 2 месяца назад

@@richjones5432 Actually I have been turning for 20 years and I stand behind my statement and the other comment I received. Always support your piece to keep it from rolling down with the force. It is physics.

@ronaldcumpsty5605 2 месяца назад

Looks like a peice of cedar, if it is I can't say it is the most hated wood. The only problem, I find, is the sanding produces dust like talcum powder. The grain is usually pretty nice though. This is a decent looking piece. I hate it when turners use their lathes as anvils or paint booths.

@IanMacWoodturning 2 месяца назад

It’s Leylandii which is a cross between 2 types of cypress plants, it’s very common in the UK and not particularly liked.

If you are going to say the most hated wood, then you at least need to say what it is, and an explanation of why you feel that way.

@@IanMacWoodturningindeed it is. Cupressus macrocarpa ( monterey cypress, a fabulous timber) and callitropsis nootkatensis, (nootka cypress).

In the UK this stuff is everywhere and it's not used for very much, people say that they bushes are eyesores and it's generally not very well liked. There are lots of articles where people explain in more depth

@JOHNSmith-pn6fj 2 месяца назад

Great Vase. I have never heard of "Leylandii" so I googled it to find out what kind of tree/wood you were working with. That piece you are working with has some very nice grains to it.

@IanMacWoodturning 2 месяца назад

Thanks John! It’s mostly used by people here to line their property for privacy, nobody really uses it for anything but I think it’s perfectly fine wood.
