    Reasons for the dryness of old elm furniture:

    Because the raw materials of old elm furniture are rich in certain moisture, the air is also rich in certain moisture, but the moisture in the raw wood is higher than the moisture in the air, in the natural state, the moisture in the raw wood will be slowly lost, so that it is as common as possible with the moisture content in the air, but this is a long process, so it is necessary to carry out manual intervention, through drying furnaces and other boring equipment, to speed up the completion of this process. Let's say it's over in 20 days or about a month.

    If the wood is not disposed of dry, after being made into furniture, in the process of use, especially in other places, because the moisture content in the air in various regions is not the same, the furniture will be deformed, warped, shortened, swollen and cracked, etc., and the furniture will be damaged and even difficult to correct. In China, the furniture made in the south is used in the north, and the appearance will be shortened, especially the large boards such as desktops and countertops, which are very significant, and sometimes the panels about 50 60 cm wide will shrink by more than 1 cm. If you don't do technical disposal, once you swell and crack, the damage to the furniture is very serious.

    For this purpose, after the logs are cracked into planks and squares, they are sent to the drying room to remove the remaining moisture from the center.
