Wood Drying also known as Seasoning lumber or Wood seasoning refers to reducing the moisture content of wood prior to its use. Two main uses of seasoned lumber – – Wood Working: used mainly as construction material as structural support to a building or woodworking objects. – Wood Burning: used mainly for domestic or small scale commercial purposes. Wood is divided, according to its botanical origin, into two kinds: Softwood and Hardwood. Softwoods are from coniferous trees and hardwoods from broad-leaved trees. Softwoods are lighter and generally simple in structure hence easier to process, whereas hardwoods are harder and more complex due to which permeability of hardwood is very, making it more difficult to dry. The density of softwoods ranges between 350 kg/m³ – 700 kg/m³, while hardwoods are 450 kg/m³ – 1250 kg/m³. Both consist of approximately 12% of moisture. In spite of the fact that there are around a hundred times a greater number of types of hardwood trees than softwoo
