   They have the information to help you, not sure if it is available on the web but they do send info also.

   We cut a lot of white pine logs off of our property and saw into lumber (Woodmiser) with great success. We cut in the winter and saw the boards in the winter if we want to avoid blue stain and sticker marks. We air dry or kiln dry depending on when we need it and how it is to be used, and which direction the temperature is going..

   We have used it for moldings, furniture, paneling, framing lumber, natural wavy siding with bark peeled, and some of it kindling. 

   We found it is best not to dry as dry as hardwood, most of it we use at 9- 10 % MC with good results. If it is too dry we have found it to get too brittle. Maybe others have had better results.

   Good luck in your search, George
