An example: A bow stave from kiln dried stock will nearly always end up breaking. I have yet to break an air dried one. Kiln is hard on lumber. properly sealed ends and air drying rock. Fast ain't always good.

IRNSGN and Finnr... I didn't know that kiln dried lumber can be brittle when compared to air dried, so that's good information for me. Thanks...

I wasn't trying to say a kiln necessarily should be used to dry the wood. Air drying is fine. What I was saying is that if green wood is dried too fast, it will warp and split (at least that is what I have experienced with Oak). INSGN's original post said "It gets nice and hot in there", which I assumed was referencing where the green wood is going to be cured. No offense taken and none meant.

Frosty, Them Wilton's are a nice looking vise, handy too. Great little piece of thrifty bargain hunting there.
