Okay, I have a question about moisture content and density of wood. I have lots of mesquite wood that I will be working on. My problem is that my moisture meter does not have mesquite as one of the wood species on its list of wood density. What wood species would compare close to wood density as mesquite wood so I can rely on the moisture reading of my MD918 moisture meter? I don’t want to start carving out a project and then get cupping later and distort the project.
This link says Philippine Mahogany
Thanks, I will go with that density number and see how it turns out.
