Hi Ron,

http://www.ca.uky.edu/agc/pubs/for/for55/for55.htm

And I quote from the above: "Because wood is a hygroscopic material
(meaning that it readily takes up and retains moisture), it is impossible
to prevent moisture from entering dry wood"

No information on rates--but clearly wood wishes to *retain* moisture which
was what I was trying to say in the first place. I.E. it comes out slower
than it goes in.
