Well that depends on what the wood is being used for the two most common reasons to dry wood are for building materials and firewood. In the case of building materials the wood is pre-dried before construction to allow for expansion and contraction due to the drying cycle. Otherwise whatever you are building has the potential to warp or tear itself apart. For the second use of firewood the wood is dried to lower moisture content so that you get a better burn from the wood. By that it is measured by three factors a more complete burning of the material (I.E. cleaner and less waste), two it allows you to harvest a higher energy potential from the wood (I.E. more heat for your home per piece of wood), and lastly the wood will ignite quicker allowing for a fire that is easy to start and smokes less.
