Drying: The drying method depends on the size of the wood. Any wood that is 1” in width (such as that used for siding) will be kiln-dried. Any lumber over 2” wide will be air-dried. Pecky Cypress can be bought air-dried or kiln-dried.
It requires 6 months of air drying before being kiln-dried. It is essential not to over-dry cypress in the ovens because the outside will dry quickly, and the interior will be moisture which causes faster cracking.
Workability: Yellow Pine is easy to work with. All types of tools are
Sustainable: Pine grows rapidly and is thus a very sustainable option. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) does not list yellow pine in its appendices.
