Hi Gang:

How much loss of weight should one expect when drying a stock blank?

I have a stock blank that the seller assured me that it was dry when I bought it. I placed it in my attic for 365 days and itlost 3.21 lbs. It went from 13.74 lbs, to 10.21 lbs. during the past year.

My questions are: how much water loss is normal per year and how many more years must I wait until the wood is dry? I guess that when the wood no longer gets lighter it is dry. Is this a safe assumption?

Any though about this subject?

TIA,

Franchi
