Understanding Kiln-Dried Hardwoods

  • Enhanced Strength and Durability: Properly kiln-dried wood is stronger and more durable, making it ideal for furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and other demanding applications.

  • Improved Workability: Kiln-dried wood is easier to plane, sand, and glue, resulting in a smoother finish and a more enjoyable woodworking experience.

  • Reduced Risk of Insect Infestation: The drying process eliminates moisture that attracts insects, minimizing the risk of infestation in your finished project.
