We dry to a stable 6–8% moisture content — the range your buyers need so the wood stays put in a climate-controlled building after it's built. We meter every load before we call it done.

It depends on species and thickness — a kiln reaches a stable, sellable moisture content in a matter of weeks, rather than the year or more that air-drying takes. Thicker stock and wide slabs run longer; we'll give you a realistic timeline when you reserve a load.

Yes. Bring it green off the mill. We sticker and load it, run a controlled schedule of heat, airflow, and humidity, and finish with a conditioning (stress-relief) step so the boards don't case-harden or warp.

Yes — a kiln schedule brings the core of the wood up past 130–160°F, which kills insects, larvae, eggs, and most mold and fungi. You get clean, stable lumber with no chemical treatment.

From dimensional hardwood to wide live-edge slabs, plus mantles, beams, and posts. Have oversized or unusual pieces? Send us the details and we'll let you know what fits.

It works — you know that. But it ties up your money for a year or more, stalls at whatever the local humidity allows, and never reaches the 6–8% a heated building needs. A kiln gets there in weeks and relieves drying stress along the way.

Pricing depends on species, thickness, and volume. Reach out and we'll give you a quote for your load.
