Advantages of RF Drying:
  • Bright Natural Color: No chemical oxidation, heat discoloration, or brown stain during drying. RF dried wood retains its natural color with the appearance of freshly sawn wood.
  • No "Wets": Wets are eliminated.
  • Reduced Checking: Stress-free drying at low temperatures substantially reduces checking.
  • Stress-free Wood: Even penetrative RF heating ensures that the entire cross-section of wood dries uniformly and yields an even moisture distribution from the surface to the core.
  • Minimized Distortion: Timbers are restrained during drying to prevent the wood from moving during drying, nearly eliminating twist, bow, cup, crook, and warp.
  • Less Shrinkage: Approximately 3% shrinkage from green compared to 5% or greater with traditional kiln dry systems.
  • Accurate green targets

Reclaimed Timbers:

The inventory levels help ensure that the size you need will be there ready to process into sawn beams for upcoming projects.

Our timber sizer will surface up to a 16"x20" timber. We are currently providing both rough sawn and S4S timber packages--precision milled to your exact specifications. We have a computer operated 36" diameter cut-off saw on the out feed table of the timber sizer. All timbers (RS and S4S) are delivered labeled, trimmed with 90 degree mitered ends, and ready for joinery.
