Abstract
Moisture content (MC) sample boards are used to monitor the drying of hardwood lumber. The MC of sample boards is estimated from destructive analysis of adjacent subsamples. This study quantifies the error associated with these estimates for white oak (Quercus spp.) lumber. Twelve freshly sawn white oak boards were disassembled into about fifty 3.8-cm-long sections from which oven-dried MC values were determined. The sections were reassembled for each of the 12 boards into combinations of sample board lengths ranging from 3.8 to 152 cm. MC estimates and confidence intervals were derived.
