Summary The high potential of marketing dry wood encourages the study of the possibility to kiln dry green hardwood. Description of the technical details of three drying processes and their differences are discussed. One of the processes is recently developed, and is called “Continuously Varying Schedule”. Three drying tests were carried out using each process to dry green 100×50 mm quarter and back sawn Eucalyptus laevopinea and E. agglomerata. The Continuously Varying Schedule and the Continuously Rising Temperature processes reduced the drying time to one third that of the Conventional process. Recovery in volumetric shrinkage for samples dried by the Continuously Varying Schedule was not significantly different from those dried by the conventional Schedule, but different at the 5% confidence level from those dried by the Continuously Rising Temperature.
