Re: A discussion of the myths of kiln dried lumber

Jesse Cloud
My experience with steam bending is similar to JL's. I always try to find air dried, but when that's just not available, I will use kiln dried. I have found the higher failure rate in walnut, cherry, and maple. If anyone knows a workaround for this, I would love to learn it!
