Recommended Posts

Hello to all,

 

I am in need of help identifying a wood and also help(Advice) on how to dry it crack free; without a kiln.

 

Inherited some firewood. Has some nice sized rounds. We cut them to about 3' thick slabs.

 

Problem -- not knowing the exact species of wood; nor the best drying methods!

 

HELP PLEASE!

 

Pictures are attached to help identify please.

 

A big thank you for any and all help. These were just too nice to be firewood!

A box with vent for moisture escape heated with appropriate wattage bulb/s could dry this for you at a reasonable price ,plus paint the box black and put my sunlight.inside you car on a sunny day with the windows up it's 140 degree.as an example of how hot a box would be with no bulb to help out .plus the bulb is on non stop too.Just a  quick fix ,maybe. :cool:

3 IN Thick IS WAY TOO THICK UNLESS YOU ARE B\A   THEY ARE CUT AT 1 1/4 Thick. I stack mine under my deck on 2x3's on top orf eachother witn 2x2's between rows with ends painted to prevent cracks It takes 8 month  to 12 month to cure it out good to about 10 to 15 % moisture

IKE
