Maximum Initial Moisture Contents for Kiln Drying 4/4 Hardwoods At High Temperatures
Red oak, soft maple, cherry, pecan, sweetgum, basswood, aspen, white oak, elm, hackberry, black ash, and bur oak were kiln-dried by normal-temperature (180?F maximum) and high-temperature (230?F) schedules. Degrade from […]

Maximum Safe Initial Moisture Content for Press-Drying Oak Lumber Without Honeycomb
Kiln-drying 1-inch-thick oak lumber usually requires 1 to several weeks. Press-drying requires only about 1 hour, but honeycomb is usually so severe that the dried lumber is unfit for any […]

Measurement of moisture gradients during kiln drying
Moisture gradients in red oak were measured through four different techniques: bandsaw slicing, Forstner bit layering, flaking, and razor-blade slicing. The first two techniques were found in the literature. The […]

Mechanical Properties of Conventionally Kiln-Dried and Pressure Steam-Dried Yellow-Poplar and Red Oak
Sections of conventionally kiln-dried and pressure steam-dried yellow-poplar sapwood and red oak heartwood were prepared for standard tests of static bending, shear parallel to the grain, and side hardness. Significant […]

Method for interconverting drying and heating timers between round and square cross sections of ponderosa pine
To use small-diameter trees effectively as square timbers, we need to be able to estimate the amount of time it takes for these timbers to air-dry. Since experimental data on […]
