Which outcome increases when seasoning timber too rapidly during wooden ship construction?

💡 Explanation

When timber is seasoned too rapidly, differential drying introduces stress because the outer layers dry faster than the inner, leading to warping and splitting. Therefore increased plank warping and splitting results, rather than reduced borer resistance, fastener weakening, or corrosion which involve different chemical/biological mechanisms.
