About wood roasting

The wood, after a period of about 2 years of seasoning, was subjected to a process of slow vacuum drying to a moisture content of approx. 7%. After drying, it was heated in an anaerobic chamber at a temperature up to 190° C. This treatment is a technically accelerated process of long-time aging of wood, which is aimed at increasing the hardness, stiffness and stability of wood. In addition, the hardened wood structure and closed pores make it difficult to absorb moisture from the air, which is never indifferent to any wood. This is particularly important in the case of maple and ash wood in various varieties, which can be unstable in changing conditions (temperature, humidity). The side effect of the roasting process (for some, a great plus) is the significant darkening of the wood and the characteristic smell, reminiscent of roasted coffee grains. About the tone, roasted wood theoretically only gains, and whether it really is ... this one will find out who will check it.

Other names for roasted wood: torriefied, thermo-aged, carmelized, thermo-modified, baked, postarzane, termowane.
