Thoughts on wood seasoning; Air-Dried v. Kiln-Dried. I read somewhere a that there is no difference between air-dried timber and kiln-dried timber of the same species, if the moisture content is the same. Scientifically, this may be so, but I know that they feel different to me, and I've also read somewhere that air-dried timber is much better for steam-bending than kilned. Kilned wood seems less responsive in some way; more likely to splinter, and dustier when I turn it. And I know I get much longer shavings with air-dried timber. If you have any explanation, please e-mail me |
