how do we get wood that isn’t sappy?

Why is some wood sappy when cut, but plenty of wood isn’t? Is it by type of tree or how we process it?

Most wood is sappy when cut. It’s left to dry after cutting before processing so the sap dries out. Sap is mostly water so it just evaporates out of the wood.

Lumber isn’t green wood
