Anyone out there ever mill a Leyland cypress log? Can it even be used for lumber? I have several logs that are big enough to mill. If useable, is there anything special I should know? Thanks in advance for any info!!!!

Yes I have used Leyland Cypress very aromatic wood. I think it was 3 trunks, air dried very nicely be sure to remove the bark it will attract the beetle that usually kills the tree before it gets big.
Here's proof a simple cabinet from some of the wood.

FYI, when using, Mind the grain direction as best as you can and the bald cypress I use hates low angle planes.
