The alleviation of brown stain in hem-fir through manipulation of kiln-drying schedules
A brown stain often develops when drying hem-fir, leaving the lumber with an unsightly appearance that greatly reduces its value. The stain is believed to be caused, in part, by […]

The correlation between green density and the occurrence of honeycomb in kiln-dried red oak lumber
Fresh-cut, 5/4 red oak (Quecus sp.) boards were weighed, measured to determine volume and then kiln-dried to determine if the initial green density (green weight/green volume) was correlated to the […]
