Now John:

You know damned well that I ain't no ingineer - however, there are
available articles on transferring the results of probes attached to a
VTVM to understandable resistance readings that, when applied to
tables indicating species resistance at a certain EMC will give an
approximation of what a ninety dollar moisture meter will do.

This is why accountants and project managers sit over ingineers.

For the electrical engineer types amongst us:

Figuring that moisture meters are measuring some dimension of electricity is
there some way a multimeter could be used for measuring the moisture ratio
in wood? ...maybe with the application of math after taking a reading of
some property of the electrical current passing through the wood?

Curious...
