Wood Drying
Wood Drying for Quality and Performance
At Waxhaw Woodworks, we understand that the foundation of excellent woodworking lies not just in the craftsmanship, but in the quality of the material itself. We offer professional wood drying services, utilizing our state-of-the-art kiln that holds up to 2,000 board feet. This service is designed for woodworkers, carpenters, and hobbyists who demand the highest quality in their lumber, ensuring that your projects look beautiful and last for generations.
Our Kiln Drying Process
The kiln drying process is critical for reducing the moisture content of wood, which in turn minimizes the risk of shrinkage, warping, insects, and fungal growth. We carefully reduce the moisture content of the wood to your specific requirements, ideal for the intended use of the lumber.
Our kiln provides a controlled environment for uniform drying, essential for maintaining the wood's quality and stability. Depending on the type of wood and its initial moisture content, we adjust our drying cycles to ensure optimal results, preserving the wood's integrity and enhancing its natural beauty.
Benefits of Kiln-Dried Wood
Kiln-dried wood is more resistant to decay and insect damage, extending the lifespan of your projects. Lower moisture content makes wood easier to cut, shape, and finish, resulting in cleaner, more precise workmanship.
Drying wood in a controlled environment enhances its natural color and grain, making for more visually appealing projects. Plus, properly dried wood is less prone to warping and twisting, ensuring that your creations maintain their shape and dimensions over time.
