Why Seasoning Required ?

Green Wood in growing trees contains considerable quantities of water/moisture. Most of this moisture has to be removed in order to obtain satisfactory performance from the wood in use. Freshly felled wood contains moisture roughly 100 percent based on the oven dry weight of wood. A well seasoned piece of wood should on other hand contain only 10 to 12 percent moisture. An important object of seasoning is to dry the timber to the equilibrium moisture content before use, so that gross dimensional changes through shrinkage, which inevitably occurs in green wood as it tends to attain equilibrium with the surrounding atmosphere, are eliminated.
