I bought some hardwood lumber from a lumber supplier. Right now it’s in my garage stickered. But this is Texas where the humidity is 50% to 80% depending on the time of day. My garage has no climate control. Since this is a project for in the home, should I be storing the wood indoor before I mill it? The humidity indoor is about 50% at all times. Temperature varies between 67 and 80. According to charts the wood will shrink slightly after i bring it inside if it reaches outdoor EMC. From either 9.5 to 16 (depending on outdoor humidity) to about 9.2 inside. I think the wood is kiln dried (need to check with moisture meter). So right now it’s probably slowly getting wetter. |
