01

Why schedules matter

Temperature, humidity, airflow, species, thickness, starting moisture, and drying stage must work together to limit stress and defect.

02

The core is part of the story

Surface readings alone can hide gradients in thick slabs. Proper conditioning and verification support more predictable fabrication.

03

Storage after the kiln

Kiln-dried wood can regain moisture. Wrapped transport, acclimation, shop conditions, and final testing remain essential.

Questions, answered

What to know about drying science.

Can your team source timber that is not shown online?+

Yes. Current online inventory is only one supply path. Submit species, exact dimensions, timber format, quantity, drying, surface, matching, budget, destination, and timeline for nationwide sourcing.

Can you supply one slab, bulk quantities, or recurring orders?+

Yes. Requests can range from a single live-edge slab to matched sets, bundled inventory, logs, sawlogs, custom-cut timber, project packages, recurring orders, and truckload quantities.

What processing and freight options can be specified?+

Buyers can request green, air-dried, or kiln-dried timber; rough-sawn or surfaced stock; flattening, ripping, cut-to-length work, repeated dimensions, and freight planning appropriate to the shipment.
