10 hilariously insightful foreign words. Kiln dried lumber is lumber that has been heated in a kiln so that it has a low moisture content. When the drying process is complete, the lumber usually has a moisture content of between 6% and 8%, making it significantly dryer than green lumber or air dried lumber.n the case of kiln dried lumber, the wood is dried in giant kilns with carefully controlled temperature and humidity levels. The goal is to get the boards to dry quickly and evenly, and to prevent warping that could render the wood unusable.
If you use mineral oil the board will probably crack. I'm not a fan of Chinese style cutting boards as they use green wood; the wood tends to be fresh from the tree rather than being properly dried. It is not uncommon to find sap leaching from the board when new. Mineral oil won't absorb properly onto the board, it will form a very shallow layer on top of the remaining sap. An end grain kiln dried board is like a bundle of straws into which you can just pour oil.
