WOODWORKING QUIZ for 16 June 04

[Ralph Jones]

Good Evening Friends,
The fiber saturation point is about _____________ M.C. for nearly all kinds of wood.

Hint, the answer can be found in chapter one of my tutorial web site.

Respectfully, :)

28%

Good Morning Tonz,
You are close my friend, the answer is 30% which is the point that wood starts to lose its water and also starts to shrink.

Thank you for your support.

Respectfully, :)

[Tonz]

Actually it probably depends which book you read.... 25-30% might be a more representative answer...

Hello Tonz,
How true my friend, and to be honest I hadn't even thought of it that way.

Respectfully, :)
