Pushed in some cherry today before the rain hits then decided to split this piece of ironwood (this was not covered) and check the moisture content, after checking it I put it down cellar and will check it again on Saturday.

I cut this in the summer, I think this was down and dead when I bucked it up.

Decided that I would check the ironwoods moisture content tonight and not wait until Saturday, looks like it's ready. Since putting this down cellar we had two good fires and one small fire with the humidity around 35-40 percent.

It will be interesting next week when I take another reading what the moisture content is, this was holding down one of the tarps so it has seen alot of rain.

Sav here is my guess for the readings I'll take next Saturday.

The split reading 25% will be 20% and the split reading 30% will be 25%.
