I have read on various sites that air dried lumber is better to work with hand tools and the colors are better than kiln Dried lumber. Has anyone an opinion about this?
I have a project coming up that wiil be veneered with pine being the substrate and case wood, and I was wondering if I should hunt down some air dried pine or just go to the local home center.I know of a mill in PA that air diries then after 1-2 years puts the lumber in a dehumidification kiln to bring the wood down to 6% mosture. Any Ideas or thoughts?
