Is my moisture meter working?
I just bought a "MD-26 Timber Moisture Meter".
All the wood in my basement, be it stored hardwood or construction 2x4s, measures 6% moisture. The wood in my 1st and 2nd story (completed projects) do not register; presumably below 6%. I bought the meter because I just cut and stickered a 4' high pile of walnut, also in my basement. The wood at the bottom measures 24% and the wood near the top of the pile measures 14%. The meter is consistant; it will give the same reading over and over again; but I am sure if it makes sense. May in Rochester NY is not all that arid; my wood should not be below 6%. And my freshly cut wood should not have gone from 24% to 14% in one week. Do I have a defective meter, or do I not understand something? Thanks. |
