seasoning timber
The drying of the sap and moisture in the woody fibers and thus reducing the timber by shrinkage. It becomes more durable and weighs less. Timber may be air-dried, i.e., dried naturally in air, or kiln-dried, which means dried in kilns under the action of artificial heat. The former is more general.
