I brought some wood into the shed. I resplit some off the larger splits, and checked the moisture reading.
The oak had some slightly over 22%, cherry and maple where below 20%.
My question.
When i bang 2 splits of the oak or cherry toghether they have that CRACK Sound. Ready to burn. But the maple doesn't have that same sound. Is it the nature of the wood, or is it Not Ready?
Also something that surprised me. I had a large Sycamore [28" DBH] come down last march, I split and put into 2011/12 pile. It's already @ 20%, and has that Crack sound.
Thanks,
