All our Oak is air dried, much of it however is then kiln dried. Oak must be air dried for minimum 1 year per 25mm of thickness, this brings the moisture content down close to the equilibrium for the place it is stored (typically 12 to 18%),. More importantly it helps to release many of the tensions that are always present in timber.
