Drying Experiment -- Wood Weight Over Time

[WarmGuy]

I thought I'd post this info again (posted it years ago) to pay back for the helpful advice I've gotten from this forum.

I weighed some different pieces and bundles of wood every month or so (pine and fir). Bottom line, all the wood was as dry as it was going to get after about 5-6 months (very humid climate here).

If you've only been running this test for 9 months, I think it's a little premature to say that. Yes, most of the sample pieces appear to have leveled off, but that could be a seasonal thing. Coastal Northern California is super rainy at this time of year (I spent a year in Fort Bragg) so it wouldn't surprise me if the leveling off was temporary.

I think a better test would be to do moisture content over a year or so period of time. That would speak more in terms of how effective the different pieces were drying....

nonetheless, my hat's off to you for hanging with it........
