Turning Archive
John Lucas
Darrin I use to weight them but never had a really good way to write it down so I could read it 3 months down the line. Now I have so many laying around that I just try to stack them so the newest ones are nearest the wall on one end. That way I just grab ones that are away from the wall and they are at least 6 months old or more and dry.
when I did weigh them I found I could turn them in 3 months with minimal warping and they were dry in 4 to 6 months no matter what size. That's here in Tennessee in a no air conditioned building.
I have a new really inexpensive moisture meter so next time I get some fresh wood I'm going to do another weighing test and measure it as well. Then I'll check it and weight it frequently until dry. That should give me some idea if the moisture meter is any good and at the same time tell me how long it takes that species to dry in my new location.
