FWIW: I had posted 16 days ago about how I dried a piece of Sitka Spruce down to zero moisture content (MC). I went on to say that I was surprised how long it took to regain moisture. Things haven't changed much. Well, here we are at 16 days in my shop of 70 -75 degrees F and 45% relative humidity, and the little piece of spruce is now up to 6.08% MC. It went from 5.91% to the present 6.08% in the past three days. My conclusion: spruce does not take up an appreciable amount of water in a short period of time. Ain't I smart? Terry Farrell
