Uncertainty about wood drying timelines delays woodworking and construction projects

Woodworkers, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts struggle to determine how long freshly cut logs need to dry before they're usable, causing project delays and wasted materials. Current solutions require scattered forum posts, trial-and-error, or expensive consultations with arborists. The lack of clear, species-specific guidance leads to using wood prematurely (causing warping/cracking) or waiting unnecessarily long (losing project momentum and income).
