I'm shocked it is that high a moisture content. Still, since it has been dead that long, should dry out fast.
That was wood from the biggest log and it rained the night before. I split some smaller ones today that were definitely drier and lighter. I also checked some dead white oak and it was avg 35 across several pieces.
GO WHALE! Im still a Whalers fan at heart. I watched the entire cup finals. One for the record books. I was at game three of the cup finals June 2002 with my ex. Game went to triple overtime and we lost. Canes lost in five games.
