What is marine lumber?
it's treated so it can take the salt water and moisture
How long does lumber take to air dry?
The time it takes for lumber to air dry can vary depending on factors such as the species of wood, its thickness, humidity levels, and ambient temperature. Generally, it can take several months to a year for lumber to air dry completely. It is recommended to regularly monitor the moisture content using a moisture meter to determine when the lumber is ready for use.
What are the differences between kiln-dried and green lumber in terms of their suitability for woodworking projects?
Kiln-dried lumber is better for woodworking projects than green lumber because it is less likely to warp or shrink. Kiln-dried lumber has lower moisture content, making it more stable and easier to work with. Green lumber, on the other hand, has higher moisture content and is more prone to warping and shrinking as it dries.
How can I ensure proper drying of treated lumber to prevent warping and decay?
To ensure proper drying of treated lumber and prevent warping and decay, it is important to stack the lumber with spacers between each board to allow for proper air circulation. Additionally, storing the lumber in a dry, well-ventilated area and regularly checking the moisture content with a moisture meter can help ensure the lumber dries evenly and thoroughly.
What is the effect of moisture on the growth of mold?
The moisture is very common in food because when food is lot of days in the fridge the food produce this moisture called bacteria martaria
How can I prevent mold from growing on lumber?

If the relative humidity is hidh does the air have a lot of moisture or a little moisture?
If the relative humidity is high, it means that the air has a lot of moisture in it. This high moisture content can lead to feelings of stickiness or dampness in the air.
How is the quality of kiln-dry lumber compared to air-dry lumber?
Kiln-dried lumber is generally of higher quality than air-dried lumber because it is dried in a controlled environment, resulting in more consistent moisture content and reduced risk of warping or cracking.
What is the study of lumber called?
