To obtain dry wood (15%-20% humidity) you must cut the weak wood (in winter) to the desired length
and cut it again in pieces with a maximum diameter of 8-15 cm. You must then put them in a ventilated
shelter for at least 2 years (4 for oak, the first with exposure to the rain to eliminate the tannin).

between pieces of wood, releases the humidity and aids drying.
