Wood Moisture Content Calculator (Oven-Dry)
The free Wood Moisture Content Calculator (Oven-Dry) answers one question: Moisture content from wet and oven-dry weight. Enter your numbers in inches or millimeters and the result updates instantly in your browser, with no sign-up and no app to install. Use it on your phone at the bench, then copy or print the result for your cut list.
Weigh a sample, dry it at 215°F (103°C) until the weight stops dropping, then weigh again. Any weight unit works.
