Kiln-dried timber in seventeenth-century shipbuilding

How would kiln-drying technology have affected shipbuilding if available in the seventeenth century?

It would make seasoned timber available sooner and easier to shape, speeding construction and improving material quality.

Seventeenth-century shipbuilding depended on obtaining, seasoning, and shaping large quantities of suitable timber. Kiln technology would shorten the wait before wood became usable. More predictable drying could also make material easier to work and reduce some quality variation. The result would be faster construction and potentially better-built ships, provided the process could handle naval-scale timbers.
