In this study, the development of non-homogeneous color changes in oak timber during conventional drying and their relationship with the moisture gradient across the wood thickness were analyzed. The research was conducted on radial and tangential boards with a thickness of 38 mm, cut from two oak logs, one of sessile oak (Quercus petraea L.) and one of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.). A conventional drying schedule commonly used in enterprises was applied, and at specified time intervals samples were taken to determine the moisture content profile and monitor color changes on the cross sections of the samples. The findings reveal a complex relationship between the wood moisture content, the moisture content profile across the thickness, and the occurrence of color changes. Additionally, it was found that the wood of sessile oak dries slower and with less intense color changes compared to the wood of pedunculate oak. It was demonstrated that quarter-sawn boards dry slower compared to flat-sawn boards for both wood species. No differences in the appearance of non-homogeneous color between quarter-sawn and flat-sawn boards were identified.
