For a special project; I've picked up a beautiful piece of Cocobolo which it currently reads at 16% in the moisture meter. Would like to ask some questions to make sure I'm going in the right direction
My questions are:
1. For this type of wood what moisture % is the most desirable before stabilizing?
1A. If it needs to dry further, assuming in a Kiln, how long before it gets to that "desirable" moisture?
B. Is stabilizing needed? (There will be metal spacers)
While the maker of this handle/project will probably dictate what to do here, and I'm sure this varies from maker to maker, I would like to hear what other experts have to say.
Thank you
