Some time back I mentioned I was going to try to dry some wood in a sealed container with some dehumidifying crystals. Well I finally got round to it. I set up a box with a shop bought self contained tub of crystals. weighed a piece of pretty dry mulberry and popped it in and sealed the lid. I also weighed a similar piece that I left as a comparison, control piece. The first log weighed approx. 620 gms and the second 640 gms so similar. After 3 weeks in the container 'dryer' I can reveal the results. Bearing in mind these are both now indoors in a dry atmosphere.
The 1st log now 600gms, so yes it dried out 3 ish % and the second control piece now weighs 620gms and yes it also dried out about 3%.
DOH.
There goes that theory.
