The first redwood burl slabs are coming out of the solar kiln at 7 to 8 % moisture. Today I started working the first redwood burl slab out of the solar kiln.
Over the past several years I have use both air dried and kiln dried wood. If the wood is air dried and I have lots of time ( years ) I can produce stable high quality furniture. With time and the dry wood becoming in high demand. I decided to build a solar kiln to dry all mt redwood burl slabs, maple burl slabs, black walnut slabs and cypress slabs, I have use a solar kiln before at my local saw mill with great success. It is a new page in the history of Littlebranch Farm. Kiln dried redwood burl slab.
The Atlanta Log and Timber home show looks to be a great show. I setup the booth # 324 today and I have a great showing o redwood burl, maple burl, cedar, Black walnut, myrtle burl and more. If any one would like passes send me the number and the names. Look forward to seeing you!
