I milled some 4/4 pecan about a year ago here on the Texas coast, and its been stickered in my backyard since. I just ran it through a planer down to 3/4 and I was curious about MC. I have a pin meter and I measured the surface at around 9% and thought that couldn't be right so I cut into a piece so I could measure the center of the wood, and it still reads about 9%. I thought maybe I wasn't getting good penetration since pecan is so hard, so I drilled some small holes for the pins and its still at 9%. I'm starting to suspect the meter at this point (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1), it has multiple modes, and pecan is definitely a hardwood (I assume, considering how hard it is) and of course it get a different reading in the softwood mode, but that can't be right. I know its been hot lately, but it hasn't been dry outside. I didn't think it was possible to air dry down to 9% and I've read that equilibrium in my area is around 15%. Should I try another meter, or is there something else I don't know about pecan, or any advice?
