Moisture meter
You can scroll all over the wood and see the differences between the sap and heart wood. You can see immediately if you finger is under the wood too as the reading suddenly goes higher. I'm glad I am not dehydrated!! 😀 It only reads below 22%. Once it is below that you can see the value go down as the days/weeks go by, whether by air or DNA drying. Once it stops going down I assume it has reached equilibrium, Gretch
Hi Dave-I love my moisture meter (Wagner, about $139 from Craft supply). It reads I believe up to an inch in thickness.Dave Smith said:Hi Grertch,
I am not sure a moisture meter is the best way to determine when a bowl is dry. That is why I recommend weight to indicate when a bowl has reached equilibrium with the surrounding air.

Spaded the garden yesterday and moving slow this morning in Longview, WA.
