Pine, dried hot
Pine is full of pitch, and pitch gums up planer knives and bleeds through finish. We run pine loads hot, up to about 160°F, which drives the moisture out fast and sets the pitch so the boards plane clean. Four-quarter pine takes about 8 days in the kiln. Bring it green.
Hemlock for timbers
Hemlock is stiff, holds a nail and is plentiful here, which is why so many old barns are framed in it. We saw it to order for beams, posts, rafters and timber-frame projects.
