Name two ways in which timber can be seasoned?

1. Air drying: Timber is stacked in a well-ventilated area and left to dry naturally over a period of several months to a year, depending on the species and thickness of the wood. This method is cost-effective but can take longer to achieve the desired moisture content.

2. Kiln drying: Timber is placed in a large kiln where temperature and humidity levels are controlled to speed up the drying process. This method is faster and more efficient than air drying, but it can be more expensive due to the energy costs associated with operating the kiln.
