Wood contains natural moisture which accounts for as much as one-third of the total weight of lumber when it is first received. The curing of lumber requires tremendous care and expertise. The wood is air dried three to six months, depending on the thickness of the wood. It is then placed in a dry kiln for two to eight weeks. A moisture content of six to eight percent assures the stability of the finished furniture, in either humid or desert climates.
After the lumber is properly dried, it is planed and cut to various widths and lengths and then matched for color. Even within the same tree, color varies greatly.
