exactly. i've been cutting some of my own wood as some of you guys have offered me advice here know.after ripping, sealing ends, i enter the weight on each piece. it sets in a dehumidified basement. as time goes on i continually weigh and record weight. once it stops losing weight, voila, its done. for me this works. if you want to spend on the wood-ometer, i guess thats another choice. the theory of it ain't rocket science is my look into it, but i understand needs for accuracy some have.
