About This Book

The work presents a comprehensive technical treatment of preparing lumber for manufacture, beginning with wood structure and species differences, then addressing grain, color, weight, moisture distribution, and biological enemies. It defines seasoning, explains physical effects of moisture and the benefits and challenges of drying, quantifies losses from improper drying, and compares natural air-drying with artificial kiln methods. Detailed guidance is given on kiln theory and operation, types of kilns, piling and handling techniques, specialized cars and appliances, and measurement and control instruments for humidity and temperature. Illustrations and practical examples support application and recordkeeping.
