    So based on your data, can it be calculated how much water is being lost per day/week/month?

    Yes. I could take it there. I don’t think it would be linear. Function of weather and daily moisture content in the wood. I think water will evaporate slower the deeper it is in the wood. I’ve already seen it tapering off.

    Sorry but you should have left it out in the sun and natural wind. Would be curious to see how your fan works. Best of luck.
