Wetter Inning am Holz is a German phrase that translates to “weather inning on the wood” and refers to the practice of exposing freshly cut timber to the elements, particularly sun and rain, in order to season and enhance its durability.
This traditional technique has been used for centuries to improve the quality of wood, making it more resistant to rot, warping, and other forms of deterioration. The exposure to moisture and sunlight helps to leach out tannins and other compounds from the wood, which can contribute to its strength and longevity. Wetter inning am Holz is particularly beneficial for hardwoods, such as oak and beech, which are naturally more dense and durable.
