I have recently purchased a bunch of doug-fir to build a workbench and am waiting for it to dry.
According to the current FWW based on the current temp (70 degrees in my garage) and the relative-humidity (30%) I should expect the wood to reach equilibrium at at 6.2%.
Is this true?
In the past 2 weeks the driest of the wood has fallen from about 14% down to 12% (some of the wood was over 20%).
At this rate it will take weeks to fall to 6.2%.
I realize this is for a workbench but want to do things the right way so I am really curious if I should be waiting for the wood to reach 6.2%
thanks,
Jeff
