Excerpt from The Kiln Drying of Lumber: A Practical and Theoretical Treatise Wood which has been bent in iron forms should not be steamed again after the forms have been removed, but the drying should be started at once at a humidity less than saturation. Bent wood is in a peculiar condition due to the internal stresses introduced in the bending, and if steamed again after it has become "set" the fibers will soften up to such an extent that the wood will warp out of shape or even rupture on the tension side. This caution applies particularly to heavy pieces, such as bent oak wagon rims. When bent wood, after it is dry, is steamed, it will tend to resume its original form with considerable force. Bent wood should therefore not be steamed for removal of casehardening. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

At present, no single book adequately covers a basic understanding of wood book satisfies the need for such a work. It describes drying in practice. This the fundamental basis of kiln-drying technology, to enable forest companies to imFrove their drying operations as high-quality timbers become scarcer and of yesteryear can no longer be tolerated. Adaptive the wasteful practices is no longer good enough. Innovations change based on past experience of the material being dried and the processes require a sound understanding of drying. Newer techniques, such as the use of ultrahigh temperature sea soning and superheated steam under vacuum, require an even greater depth of physical understanding for these methods to be used effectively and economically. book provides a description of modern ideas about wood structure, This moisture movement and stress development, from which models of the drying process are developed to give the kiln operator important information about the course of drying under specified conditions, and thus a means is compared with practice wherever for rational process improvement. Theory possible.
