    Thanks, everyone! Glad to hear the consensus is that it is "dry." And thanks, Scott, for the expression "chasing EMC" -- it perfectly captures what fully "dry" wood does.

    I did think of one reason against bee’s wax — mice. I had a couple of blocks in storage that weren’t wrapped in any way and the mice went to town on them. I’d hate to end up with gnaw marks in my...

    Hmmmmm..... that’s a good question. I hadn’t considered the differences. I only thought bee’s wax because I have a supply of it, but no paraffin. It may be more porous than paraffin, but that might...
