  • Sam

    This wasn't quite what I was expecting as it is very much geared towards commercial timber yards, mills etc. rather than small scale and/or private means. This aside, it was very informative and I assume its at least fairly accurate although I suspect it may be a little out of date in places (of course, given how little I know about these things, it could still be absolutely spot on!).

    I harvest some of my own wood, this book is full of good advice.

    Excellent, a real primer, many small scale comercial driers could benefit from reading this.
    I wasted a few loads but generally made good money and I'm sure reading this helped.
