An investigation was conducted to evaluate the effect of dry kiln procedures on the visual grade characteristics and on selected mechanical properties of plantation-grown red pine.
The experimental material was separated by radial position in the tree into core material and peripheal material, and three dry kiln schedules representing a wide range of conventional temperature, with final dry bulb temperatures of 110, 170, and 200 degrees, were used to dry the 2 by 4 inch by 4 foot long lumber to a final 12 percent moisture content.
