Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the severe losses lumberyards incur when air-seasoning wood due to preventable factors such as rot and stains. The author visited numerous yards, analyzed losses, and identified the primary cause as inadequate drying techniques. The findings reveal that simple and affordable measures like promptly treating lumber with anti-stain chemicals and stacking it properly can significantly reduce losses. The author provides detailed guidelines for implementing these measures, including the optimal height for foundations, spacing between boards, and the use of covers to protect against the elements. By adopting these practices, lumberyards can not only minimize losses but also enhance the quality of their seasoned lumber, potentially increasing their revenue and competitiveness in the market.
