-===Wood Drying===
-A freshly felled tree cut into logs and run through the [[Sawmill]] will produce [Green Lumber]. While viable as a construction material in many applications, green lumber has a nasty habit of warping and shrinking over time (which can cause issues).
-One approach toward addressing this is simple air drying. The lumber is stacked in a clean, cool, dry and shady area, atop raised foundations, with spacers (called stickers) laid crossways at regular intervals for ventilation. While air-drying [[Sawmill]] lumber is a viable option (and produces high-quality lumber), it is a process that can take months to years.
-A kiln accelerates this process by rapidly heating and drying the lumber, enabling on demand fabrication of wood products.
