Introduction: Forced-Air Lumber Drying

About: I am a teacher who enjoys environmentally responsible woodworking. Most evenings will find me in the shop working with my now 8 year old son Shay who is both my greatest helper and biggest fan.
We had a great opportunity to slab up some Boxelder burl and because winter and freezing temps are coming and the wood is so wet I wanted to bring the MC down faster to help minimize drying loss. Building a wind tunnel like this is an effective method to do that. While you don't have to dry on this scale, the process is the same from a small box fan on up to the monster we are using.
