Cypress

How is it for making plugs? I've heard it is comparable to AYC?

white/cypress/ayc

its heavyer than white, real close to ayc...nice to turn...you'll notice the growth rings more with cypress..I like it better than white or red...my guess is most would pick ayc over cypress because of the rings...but painted I'll bet most couldn't tell the difference

its no ones fault

the cypress I got from doc seems different from the ayc I've used in the past, I knew they were in the same familly...ever eat a pine tree, many parts are edible

I am sure it is a southern, eastern, variety there Ule. There are many kinds. I was not trying to be a dink., although am pretty good at it. I would also like to try some and hope too soon.
