Is it dangerous for wood not to dry? Why?
The interior of pure wood is composed of wood fibers, which has internal stress of wet expansion and dry contraction. Therefore, wood or wood products need to be cured in a balanced (actually dry) way to keep the humidity inside the wood consistent with the outside, otherwise it is easy to crack.

Generally, wood drying will be accompanied by wood curing treatment. Drying is to reduce the moisture content of natural wood by balancing the high temperature and high pressure environment in the kiln (the internal moisture content of trees will be high after mining), and wait for the wood to dry in the balanced kiln until the moisture content is consistent or roughly consistent with the air environment. However, due to the vast territory of China, the climate difference between the north and the south is great, and the drying moisture content of wood in different regions is different. According to local conditions, the moisture content of dried wood will be lower, and the moisture content of dried wood in the south will be relatively higher.

One thing to note here is that the drying process should be gradual and not too fast, because if the temperature used to dry wood is too high, although the drying time will be shortened in time, the wood will not stand such high temperature and will easily crack, so drying is a long process and the water inside the wood will slowly evaporate.

Wood solidifies after drying. You must be curious about this place. Do you want to cure wood? This regimen is not another regimen! Sometimes there may be "excessive" wood after drying. Although it is dried according to the external wet temperature, there may be errors, so it takes some time for wood to adapt after drying to fully release its internal stress. Similarly, the curing cycle is a long process, and it is urgent. Some top ten brand-name wood flooring enterprises, such as Tian Ge flooring, even have a 280-day wood curing cycle. Although it will take time, wood will be more stable.

In short, we have said so much, don't underestimate the dryness of wood, it is very learned. It is not an exaggeration to say that wood quality is directly affected, and wood drying is still necessary.
