Air Dry vs, Kiln Dry
I have an opportunity to purchase 200 board feet of "air dried" white
oak for about $1.50 per board foot. The wood has been air drying for 11 months and I went there with a meter and it has an adjusted for temperature moisture content of 8%. It is rough cut to 4/4 but I have a planer so that is not an issue. I want to make a roll top desk and my question is simply am I making a mistake in not getting kiln dried lumber. What can I expect after it begins to dry in the home after the desk is made? Would appreciate any experienced comments. |
