Excerpt from The Seasoning of South African Woods The cavities, or cells as they are also called, usually contain a watery fluid when the wood is green, but as the wood dries out the water is evaporated, leaving air and a small residue in its place. The cell walls are built up of a substance known as cellulose, which is permeated by a number of materials known as lignin. The walls of these cells in the green tree are saturated with water, leaving the wood soft and pliable. The definition of seasoning may be said to be "dehydration with a minimum of damage to the structure of the wood." Dehydration is comparatively easy, but the extent of damage incurred during drying determines the ultimate usefulness of the wood. There are a great number of factors that influence the seasoning of wood in addition to the more or less complicated structure of the wood itself. Of these may be mentioned - (a) season of cutting trees; (b) dimensions of stock; (c) stacking; (d) atmospheric conditions. Season of Cutting Trees. In all the northern countries of the world that are well forested the season for each logging operation is well denned. Cutting of the trees commences in the late autumn when the farm work is practically ended for the year and labour is plentiful. It may last until the snow comes or continue through the entire winter. With the first freezing weather the swamps become solid and the skidding commences. All the scattered logs are skidded or dragged by horses usually on a single bob-sleigh to large stacks, from which they are hauled on sleighs later on when the heavy snows come, to the driving stream, or possibly off-loaded on the ice of a lake. When spring opens up, the logs are floated, or driven as it is usually called, on flood waters to the sawmills, where they may be kept in booms or a mill-pond until such a time as it is convenient to convert them into planks.

Excerpt from Seasoning of Timber The wood next to the bark contains the most water. In the species which do not form heartwood the decrease toward the pith is gradual, but where this is formed the change from a more moist to a drier condition is usually quite abrupt at the sap wood limit. In Longleaf Pine, the wood of the outer 1 inch of a disk may contain 50 per cent of water, that of the next, or second inch, only 35 per cent, and that of the heartwood only 20 per cent. In such a tree the amount of water in any one sec tion varies with the amount of sapwood, and is therefore greater for the upper than the lower cuts, greater for the limbs than stems, and greatest of all in the roots. Different trees, even of the same kind and from the same place, differ as to the amount of water they contain. A thrifty tree contains more water than a stunted one, and a young tree more than an old one, while the wood of all trees varies in its moisture relations with the season of the year.

Excerpt from Seasoning of Wood: A Treatise on the Natural and Artificial Processes Employed in the Preparation of Lumber for Manufacture, With Detailed Explanations of Its Uses, Characteristics and Properties The seasoning and kiln-drying of wood is such an important process in the manufacture of woods that a need for fuller information regarding it, based upon scientific study of the behavior of various species at different mechanical temperatures, and under different drying processes, is keenly felt. Everyone connected with the woodworking industry, or its use in manufactured products, is well aware of the difficulties encountered in properly seasoning or removing the moisture content without injury to the timber, and of its susceptibility to atmospheric, conditions after it has been thoroughly seasoned. There is perhaps no material or substance that, gives up its moisture with more resistance than wood does. It vigorously defies the efforts of human ingenuity to take away from it, without injury or destruction, that with which nature has so generously supplied it. In the past but little has been known of this matter further than the fact that wood contained moisture which had to be removed before the wood could be made use of for commercial purposes. Within recent years, however, considerable interest has been awakened among wood-users in the operation of kiln-drying. The losses occasioned in air-drying and improper kiln-drying, and the necessity for getting the material dry as quickly as possible after it has come from the saw, in order to prepare it for manufacturing purposes, arc bringing about a realization of the importance of a technical knowledge of the subject.
