Mastering Wood Drying & Storage is the essential guide to turning green lumber into stable, high-quality stock ready for fine woodworking and small-scale production. Written for sawyers, furniture makers, and serious hobbyists, Robert T. Henshaw demystifies moisture control, kiln operation, and long-term storage, bridging the gap between traditional craft knowledge and modern, small-shop practicality.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Measure and manage moisture content for different species
• Choose between air-drying and kiln-drying based on volume and use-case
• Operate small kilns for predictable, defect-free seasoning
• Optimize stack design, sticker spacing, and airflow
• Prevent checking, case hardening, sticker stain, and warp
• Store finished lumber to maintain stability over seasons
• Improve yield, reduce waste, and increase profitability

From backyard sawmills to boutique furniture shops, moisture control determines whether lumber becomes heirloom material or scrap. Henshaw provides a clear, step-by-step approach to drying and conditioning lumber that maximizes quality without requiring industrial facilities or expensive equipment.

Whether you are producing board feet for sale, prepping stock for cabinetry, or milling your own logs for personal builds, Mastering Wood Drying & Storage delivers the knowledge you need to achieve professional-grade results at a fraction of the scale.
