I own a sawmill and am looking for someone to kiln dry my lumber - I'm in North Central North Carolina about an hour and a half north east of Raleigh / Durham, NC and about an hour south east of South Boston, VA. I would be interesting in having 1000 ~ 2000 BF of one hardwood species and one thickness custom kiln dried at time. I'll deliver the lumber, help sticker and stack and pickup once dry. Since I mainly sell to local custom furniture makers and cabinet shops, I'll need a final stress relief moisture content of 6 ~ 10%. Lumber species mainly will be soft maple, black walnut, quarter sawn sycamore, quarter sawn and plain sawn red and white oak, occasionally wild black cherry, sugar berry and beech. I cut in standard hardwood thickness of 4/4, 5/4, 8/4 and 9/4.
Please no solar kiln replies - I've had some awful experiences with those, talking about pretzels :mad:. I'm looking for someone who knows what they are doing, takes pride in a job well done, takes the time needed to produce a quality product and is priced by the board foot.
Thanks
