dc.abstract.enSorting of sawn timber batches is crucial for efficient kiln-drying. This study aimed to verify the hypothesis of different drying attributes of 25 mm thick sapwood and mixed Scots pine boards sawn from a group of butt, second, and top logs and assess the effects of kiln-drying. Three options dry-bulb temperature were taken into account. The drying results were evaluated based on the final moisture content distribution, changes in the cross-sectional dimensions of the sawn timber, drying time, and unit heat consumption. Correlations between sawn timber features, drying temperature, and drying results were analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests. The study proved the dependence of the initial moisture content and wood density variation of Scots pine sawn timber on the log type and the position on the round timber cross-section. The variation of drying attributes of the sapwood and mixed 25 mm Scots boards is insignificant in the final moisture content distribution and cross-sectional dimensions. However, green sorting may have only a beneficial effect on drying time and heat consumption.
