OUR STORY
The Drying Kiln was founded in 2022 by the father-son duo Michael and Benjamin Vanover to fulfill the demand of custom lumber in Wells County, Indiana.
They created a four man team to come together not only to provide the people with high quality lumber, but the ability to dry their own.
Our Services
Lumber
We have a variety of lumber in stock ranging from dimensional lumber, live edge slabs, custom milled and antique, reclaimed barn lumber, and timbers. All of our lumber is dried in a dehumidification kiln. Our final moisture content level is to building and furniture standards. The Drying Kiln team operates in Wells County Indiana on a family farm.
Kiln Drying
$1.50 a board foot, by volume. To calculate board foot, use the following formula: TxWxL /144. $3.00 a board foot if anything is over 2 inches thick. The thicker stock takes longer and requires extra monitoring and care to limit splitting.
Depending on moisture level, our process could take 2 to 6 weeks. All lumber is dried to industry standards for building or furniture construction.
