The first step is to soak the lumber for three years, then it is stacked and left outside to season for three more years. The naturally dried wood is then sent to a kiln for two months, after which it is ready for processing into furniture.
傳統處理生材的辦法是，把原木浸水三年，取出鋸成木板，再疊起置於戶外三年，讓木材自然乾燥、定型。準備製成傢具前，還要送進鍋爐間烤兩個月，充分除去水份。
