Trees to Lumber
Dan Meyer's publication on processing trees to lumber for hobbyists and small businesses provides valuable insights into the process of obtaining logs, sawing them into lumber, and preparing lumber for drying. The publication includes designs for a simple solar kiln, which is a cost-effective and efficient method for drying lumber. Meyer emphasizes the importance of maintaining optimum lumber drying rates and offers advice on constructing a solar kiln to suit the drying needs. The plans given in the publication have been used to construct over 300 kilns nationwide, demonstrating the design's simplicity and adaptability to various sizes
MSDS Kiln Seal
KILN SEAL is an asphalt based material which provides a tough, heat-holding film and long-lasting barrier against moisture and heat in lumber dry kilns. KILN SEAL is used to prevent the deterioration of dry kiln walls, ceilings and decking; to help ensure proper moisture level; to help maintain heat control. It is designed to be used over masonry, wood, and metal surfaces.
