2 types of moisture in the two stages of wood seasoning?

Wood seasoning involves two types of moisture: free moisture and bound moisture. Free moisture is the water that exists in the wood's cells and can be removed relatively easily during the initial drying phase. Bound moisture, on the other hand, is water that is chemically bound within the wood fibers and requires more intensive drying methods, such as kiln drying, to eliminate during the final seasoning stage. Properly seasoning wood reduces its moisture content, enhancing its stability and durability for various applications.
