Chart of equilibrium moisture content versus relative humidity. ... The moisture content of wood is directly related to the humidity and temperature of the surrounding air. The equilibrium moisture content (EMC) occurs when the wood has reached an equilibrium with its environment and is no longer gaining or losing moisture.

Air drying usually extends until wood moisture content is as low as 20% to 25%, at which time the lumber is transferred to a dry kiln if final drying to a lower moisture content is required.

What is meant by dry wood? Do any woodfirers measure the moisture content of their wood or do they judge ; 'by eye'? Is there a benchmark? I've just had a forgetable firing and feel I need more precision in this area.

Generally, it is desirable with a moisture content around 10-12%, which is a typical moisture content of wood in equilibrium with indoor air humidity. Currently, a Danish parquet fabrication company is looking for such a technique to measure the moisture content in parquets.
