Abstract
Three-dimensional distribution and variation of moisture content of boxed-heart square timber of Pinus densiflora was investigated to find the safe and rapid drying methods. As results, microwave-drying method could dry the boxed-heart square timber with sectional dimension of $150{\times}150mm$ under 10% moisture content (MC) within 72 hours with less surface checks, compared with hot-air drying. In case of microwave drying, the MC distribution during drying had a close relation with the initial MC distribution. In case of hot air drying, however, it was independent on the intial one except for the intial drying stage.
