Yes, I've been measuring it regularly. What I figured out is that it varies a lot with the ambient humidity. Last month, when the humidity was 16%, the wood measured 10-12%. On Sunday, when the humidity was 50%, it was 12-14%. For reference, a very dry cherry slab next to it measured 8.9% and 10.6% on those dates. The drying has definitely slowed down the last 4 months. I did a couple spot measurements this morning on new cuts and was still seeing in that 12-14% range. I'll pay more attention next time I make rough cuts, but it seems like the moisture is fairly even throughout. Thank you! All advice welcome and I admit I jumped in eagerly yesterday and broke that rule so you are wise to remind me. Today I'm sore from moving all that dang wood around, both getting it to the shop and around the shop, so am taking the day off to do other things. Yep. Since I don't have a planer, I'm using a variety of milling techniques depending on the board, but all the milled surfaces get treated at some point in the process, even just getting to a rough blank. Thanks all for the advice. -
New TV headphones for LOML. We used Bose bluetooth headphones for many years but they have started losing their mind. The new ones use some sort of connection oriented protocol extension to the 802.15 protocol and link up immediately, stay connected as you walk through the house and so forth. We have tried the hearing aid connections to the TV but have not had good success. We'll see how these work out ;-) -
x2 I'm sure you are doing this as well but in addition make sure you are taking material from both sides. -

And down the runway we go! One small and unsolicited suggestion, is you might want to consider milling in phases if you're seeing a lot of movement. Meaning, Mill about halfway, let it sit for a week and then take it down the rest of the way. And maybe you're doing that already. Looking forward to following you on this one! -
What did the moisture on the surface of the rough lumber get down to? Did you check the moisture after you milled the lumber, and if so, what did it read?
