Problem with the wood meter is it only measures surface moisture. I use one for firewood, and you have to split the wood to get a reliable reading. That would not be possible w/blanks. I've spun plugs from my woodpile, with no splitting after 2-3 years. So I don't think moisture w/in 5% or so matters that much. I also epoxy seal and have NEVER had maple split on me, even woodpile plugs.
