I was lucky enough today to spend a little time with a friend today while he planked felled wood from last year - some really nice western red cedar, but also some old Leylandii from mature 60/70ft trees. I was really suprised just how clean and knot free the planks came out...all were around 10/15ft at 8" wide and 3/4 - 1" thick. Why isn't this wood used more in construction? I've bought some at a reasononable price but he belives shifting this timber will be slow due to the bad name of Leylandii.
It's related to yellow cedar and shares so many of it's properties so all good there. Theres an abundance of these trees in his woods but no real market...any ideas.
Has anyone used this timber before? and, what for aside cladding?
Cheers, Tim.
