With the continuous development of science, people have got rid of the traditional method of detecting the dryness of wood and replaced it with advanced monitoring equipment and instruments, which are not only accurate in measurement, but also more convenient and reliable in use. However, many times when there is no equipment, some simple methods are still needed to judge the dryness of the wood. The following is a brief introduction to several traditional methods, which can be easily used in life.

1. The weight of wood. After the wood is naturally air-dried, it is naturally lighter than the water-containing wood. You can use this trick when picking in the building materials market.

2. Wood feel. It is relatively dry if it is not cold to the touch.

3. Knock the knuckles. If the sound is crisp, it means that it is relatively dry, and if it is wet, the sound is relatively dull.

4. Listen to the sound of wood planing. If the planing sound is crisp, the planed wood is smooth and the shavings are hot, which means it is dry. Otherwise, it is wet.

5. Squeeze a handful of sawdust and feel whether it is dry.

6. Put a piece of tissue paper under the opened wood, and check whether it is damp on the second day, and you can basically judge the dryness of the wood.

The above are relatively traditional and rough detection methods, which can be conveniently used when the precision is not needed in daily life. If precise results are required, further instrumentation is required.
