    I even got a camphor slab from 12 months ago

    Oops! Well spotted Woks.
    Yes six Months is what I meant to say...

    Also best to store your timber in as static environment as possible.
    A hot in summer and damp and cold in winter tin shed probably isnt the best environment

    I will try to remember to bring my moisture meter on Saturday, will be interesting to see the readings on some chunks of tree at the show..
    I got booted out of one over east because I called shennanigans on a so called reputable dealer for selling kiln dried timber that was reading 35%.... It should have been between 6-12%

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Good job on calling them out man, sometimes we put too much faith in the so-called "experts" and half the time are probably unwittingly being duped.
    It's too bad you can't get a meter you poke into everything before you buy it.
