Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02081992A1] A method for drying solid-wood timber (3), wherein the timber is compressed between pressing elements (10, 12) during the drying to reduce cracking, in which method the timber is compressed by an amount at least equal to the drying shrinkage of the timber, and in which method the timber consists of pieces of timber placed between the pressing elements and dried at the same time. By means of the pressing elements, the timber (3) is only compressed. The pieces of timber (3) are arranged between the pressing elements in one or more tiers in the pressing direction so that the pieces of timber in the same tiers are pressed against each other during the drying process.
