I use allot of cypress for building out door furniture and other stuff. The sap wood is pretty light has good strength and is easy to work with. It's firmer than balsa but softer than other sticks available. It's also rot resistant which *may* make it more tloerable to glow fuels.

Has anyone tried building with it. I did a search of the forums and came up empty handed. I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as CA will adhere to it well. I use one part pulyurethane with it as well as epoxy for my furniture and it holds fine.

The Cypress I use is kiln dried. I could make sticks up to 15' long if I wanted that are really pretty straight over that length. (Most boards I get are 12-15' long with nothing under 10')

Any thoughts or experiences.
