This prevents unacceptable changes in size occurring after installation, water from timber so that the amount of water in the timber is in balance with the moisture in the atmosphere. Another technique drying is a solar drying. A solar drying is an affordable method for almost any woodworker to gain the capacity to dry wood in a controlled environment. A solar kiln may be easily constructed with readily available materials. Solar drying also is much faster process and capable of drying lumber to moisture content of 6% to 10% particularly in the summer months. So the best way is to control drying it using proper drying schedule. It is importance to get the high value in the market.
