Review on Dr.meter Pinless Wood Moisture Meter: Accurate & Non-Destructive Detector for Wood Firewood, 4%-80% Moisture Measuring Range by Gary Stringfield

I use this to measure the moisture content of wood that has been sawn for use in guitars, which is thin wood that after re-sawing is about is 3/16 inch thick. would be accurate on a thin canvas as the field appeared to penetrate the canvas and partially look at the air from the other side. It appears that this is indeed happening: measurements on a thin canvas show lower moisture levels than on a thick one Butt about 9/16" thick; from that thickness onwards, readings remain constant. Methodology: I took several sets of newly sawn boards, each 3/16" thick (and cut into quarters, although I didn't expect this to be the case would make a difference), stacked 5 of these to get a thicker board (about 1" thick) and measured the humidity. I then removed one 3/16" board from each and measured again. The pictures show the process. Results: Minimum thickness to get accurate measurements depends on moisture content: burned wood (5-10% moisture content), material should be about 1/2 inch thick to get an accurate reading. With wet material the readings seem to be accurate even down to 3/16 inch thickness (the minimum I've measured). Specifically, up to a thickness of 3 sheets (9/16 inch), readings were constant regardless of moisture content. - Thickness doesn't matter. On 2 panels (3/8 inch thick), the moisture content decreased approximately 20% for fully air dried material (5.5% moisture) and 10% for partially air dried material (11% moisture). and not at all for very fresh wood (moisture content 35%); At 1 board (3/16 inch thick), the moisture content values were about half the "thick" values for the two sets of dryers, but still about right for green forest.
