Jim,
That's eerie, I just got on to ask the same thing. I wonder if we both picked up wood from the same curb...
At least I think mine is Leyland cypress, foliage seemed like it, and my car smells like kennel bedding.
Good luck with yours!

No..... The cypress wood that woodworkers use is from the Bald Cypress.

I agree with Von. Leyland Cypress seems to be used mostly as a growing privacy screen. Not like the Bald Cypress trees that I grew up with in South Georgia......Ron

Leyland Cypress is a very fast growing screen plant around here. Grows about 3' per year. Gets to about 20' high, glorified hedge really.

Hey if it's free wood it's still good!

Thanks for the responses folks... but....
Whoops! I should re-phrase my question...
I'm aware that it's a different tree, but is the wood still similar?
