Wood

>Hi wood working brilliancies out there.

No qualifications there, but I own reference material and have made a lot 
of chips and sawdust through the years.


>Why does wood slowly loose its hygroscoptivity over many years ?

Does it? Who says so, and on what evidence?



>And is
>there a way of artificially de-hygoscoping wood to begin with ?

That's easy - yes. You just have to impregnate it clear through with a 
catalyzed plastic or resin to make it waterproof. It will no longer be 
wood, but moisture won't affect it any more.
