Our wood shop is located in Gold Beach, Oregon. The traditional method of drying wood is to let it sit on stickers for several years to achieve around a 20% maximum dryness with our moist air environment on the coast. To achieve a dryer wood in less time, we have acquired a new technology kiln drying machine for our unique woods from a company called iDry. This new machine can dry wet wood 5-10 times faster using a continuous vacuum system with a combination of heat and vacuum getting the moisture levels down to around 8%. Wood leaves this new kiln dry, lightweight, sterilized and ready for finishing.
