In the most severe case, 44 percent of the boards were degraded because of blue stain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Air Drying of Softwood Lumber, Fairbanks, Alaska The pile that began drying in May was dry 19 percent moisture content) within a month. The pile that began drying in July had an average moisture content of 18 percent within 70 days, but even then more than 5 percent of the volume had a moisture content 19 percent. The pile that began drying in December still had a moisture content 50 percent after 70 days. Drying rates in summer were correlated with average daily temperature and average daily dew point to derive predictive equations that could be used with daily or monthly averages.

This report describes how lumber can be air-dried most effectively under outdoor conditions and illustrates the principles and procedures of air-drying lumber that were developed through field investigations and observations of industrial practices. Particular emphasis is placed on the yarding of lumber in unit packages. Included are topics such as why lumber is dried, advantages and limitations of the drying process, properties of wood in relation to drying, layout of the drying yard, piling methods, causes and remedies of air-drying defects, and protection of air-dried lumber.

Excerpt from Drying of Silk-Oak in Hawaii To date little is known about the drying of lumber milled from trees grown in Hawaii. The study reported here was undertaken to answer some of the questions about the drying of silk-oak. Though this initial study was concerned primarily with air drying, the study material was kiln-dried to a low final moisture content suitable for cabinet wood. Air drying of lumber is influenced greatly by weather conditions and the methods of piling lumber on the yard. Hawaii has a great climatic variation from one location to another. In some inhabited areas rainfall exceeds 150 inches annually and high humidity prevails; here, very mild drying conditions often result in such sl w drying of lumber that stain and mold develop. Other areas have less than 20 inches annual rainfall and low humidity; here, drying conditions are severe and end splitting and surface checking may develop during drying. Since weather conditions vary greatly within relatively short distances, an area best suited for the air drying of local woods might be selected when planning installation of a sawmill. At a given location the effects of adverse weather can be minimized; drying conditions can be controlled on the air-drying yard by the methods of piling and protecting the piles of lumber from direct sun and rain.
