Abstract | This study aimed to investigate how pre-steaming affects the drying times, final moisture contents (final MCs), and prevention of checking during the high-temperature and low-humidity drying process of boxed-heartwood Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora S. et Z.) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) with 20 × 20 cm and with 30 × 30 cm cross sections. Although average final MCs of the larger cross sections were slightly higher than those of smaller cross sections, all were over-dried between 3.3% and 8.1% MC, compared to the in-use moisture content for outdoor building materials. All the pre-steamed samples were only slightly defected by surface checks of 5 mm or less in width. The sample timbers with the 20 × 20 cm cross-sectional size were slightly defected by internal checking, whereas those with the 30 × 30 cm cross-sectional size were severely defected. However, there was no clear impact of pre-steaming time on the prevention of internal checking. |
