  1. I see some videos where freshly cut lumber is being used for construction of a barn or shed or maybe a portion of a home, but there was never any reference to drying the lumber. It seemed to be just implied that the wood was going to be used wet. I suppose it would be OK if you were going to use it for framing where it will be securely nailed to other pieces to keep it from warping. I dunno. Can you advise me on this please.

    I Guess kiln drying for quick turnaround woukd be the right move, if you can’t wait a year for air drying.

    Thanks and as always, a great channel.
