Preferable season for doing the air seasoning in Shorea robusta (a highly refractory wood) is

  • A.During hot-dry season
  • B.At the end of rainy season
  • C.During winter season
  • D.At the end of winter season

Answer: B

The key's answer is at the end of rainy season.

Sal (Shorea robusta) is a highly refractory timber that splits and checks badly if it dries too fast. Stacking it for air seasoning at the end of the rains means the early, critical drying takes place in the mild, humid weather of the post-monsoon and winter months, so moisture leaves slowly and evenly.

Starting in the hot, dry season would dry the surface too quickly and cause cracking, and starting in or at the end of winter brings the timber into the hot weather while it is still wet.
