Abstract: We match the vacuum, stationary, cylindrically symmetric solution of Einstein's field equations with $Lambda$, in a form recently given by Santos, as an exterior to an infinite cylinder of dust cut out of a G"{o}del universe. There are three cases, depending on the radius of the cylinder. Closed timelike curves are present in the exteriors of some of the solutions. There is a considerable similarity between the spacetimes investigated here and those of van Stockum referring to an infinite cylinder of rotating dust matched to vacuum, with $Lambda=0$.
