In the "Wood drying" section, I changed the opening sentence from "Wood drying (not to be confused with "seasoning")..." to just "Wood drying...". The other sections of this article (including the article's first sentence!) equate drying and seasoning; Dictionary.com seems to as well. I'm guessing this was just an artifact of merging articles? I'm not an expert on the topic, so feel free to change back if I'm mistaken, but for people not familiar w/ the subject matter, this article at least needs (consistent) clarification on the difference between drying and seasoning, if there is one. -- Peter 19:58, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Drying and seasoning can be used interchangably. Seasoning refers to more of natural process whereas artificial seasoning is drying. Essentially the process is drying or removal of water from wood whether it is done in the sun or artificially in a kiln. In the olden days, without modern kiln drying technology, wood was dried in the air to climatise with seasonal variation in weather. Now-a-days majority of wood drying in done in controlled environment in industrial kilns although natural drying still exists.

This quote is made on the wikipage: "Relative humidity: The relative humidity of air is defined as the partial pressure of water vapour divided by the saturated vapour pressure at the same temperature and total pressure (Siau, 1984)." Can anyone please provide a source for this quote? I doubt very much that Siau would have defined relative humidity with "pressure" as part of the equation. This is simply not the way relative humidity is calculated. The presence of other "air" molecules has no bearing upon the partial vapor pressure of the humidity compared to the saturation vapor pressure (more appropriately called equilibrium vapor pressure) at that temperature.
I suggest that the reference to "pressure" in his quote is removed. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moldenboy ( talk • contribs) 16:56, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
There is nothing in the article mentioning that sometimes (especially for oak trees), after being cut, the entire trunk is immerged under water for years before being dried. This process make the wood become more resistant in time. Does someone know more about this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.216.76.210 ( talk) 08:40, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
I suggest Fire hardening be merged into Wood drying. The Fire hardening article is a two sentence article (and has only consisted of two sentences since creation in 2005) which describes how wood can be hardened by heating it over a fire to drive off moisture. This appears to be a specific case of wood drying and could therefore be incorporated into the wood drying article. TacitSilence ( talk) 09:11, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
I suggest that a new section labeled "fire-polishing" be created and merged with "fire-hardening." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vango42 ( talk • contribs) 08:47, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
