"Seasoning of Wood" by J. B. Wagner is a scientific treatise written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the natural and artificial processes involved in preparing lumber for manufacture, exploring the characteristics and properties of different wood types. This is aimed at professionals and enthusiasts within the woodworking industry, shedding light on the techniques and importance of proper wood seasoning and drying to maximize the material’s utility and longevity. The opening of the book sets the stage by emphasizing the critical importance of seasoning and kiln-drying in the woodworking industry. Wagner explains the common challenges faced in removing moisture from wood without damaging it, highlighting the complexities of wood as a material that varies significantly by species and structural characteristics. The author reflects on the need for a better understanding of wood properties, particularly for those in the trade, as improper treatment can lead to significant losses. Right from the start, Wagner establishes his intent to fill the gap in technical knowledge about wood seasoning, promising to provide practical and scientifically grounded insights into this vital process.
