the saw mills got the timber laying in the lakes simply because it makes it
much more easy to cut the wood and to prevent it from being disformed.<BR>When
cut into planks they were sent to the pianomakers who stored them steadily in
barn-like houses for years. Violin makers would store wood for the next
generation.<BR>Cut into pieces for soundboards at least S&S would dry it
down to 3% and glue on the ribs. Back in "normal" humidity the soundboard
would "crown". Much later YA showed up this as a great new invention though it
had been done by European an US manufacturers for
decades.</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
