WEATHER WOES: Seasonal transitions impact more than kiln-drying schedules.

摘要

For lumber mills in Canada, seasonal transitions play an enormous role in the treatment of the log resource to be dried and make it necessary to modify kiln-drying schedules. A deep understanding of the characteristics of each species, including sap movement (changes from one season to another), is essential whether the mill is processing hardwood or softwood.In addition, the climatic conditions present in a given season or during seasonal transitions are quite different from region to region.
