Milling and Drying Timber

The dream of converting our timber for bespoke furniture and student projects finally materialized this year as we set out to mill and dry our first logs of flamed beech back in March. Once milled, I carefully stacked the boards, allowing them to air-dry while shielded from the elements. This patient process spans up to 2 years, aiming for an ideal moisture content of about 18%.

Kiln Dried

In 2018, I had two logs of beech milled at a sawmill and transported to the workshop. These logs are now entering the next phase – drying in our timber drying kiln. Our efficient system completes this step in 2-3 weeks, reducing the timber’s moisture content to an optimal 8%, perfect for interior woodwork and furniture.

The flamed beech I convert into kiln-dried timber is primarily reserved for the Moroubo Workbench Course. The exquisite marble figured grain of the flamed beech log, cut back in March at an impressive 4m (13ft) length, promises to yield stunning workbench tops. With only three more oak logs to process, the workshop is buzzing with anticipation.
