Just when I thought I would be safe to use the QS White Oak I bought last February, I did a moisture reading on it and it was still coming up 12%, with my cheap HF meter. This is about where it was last Feb. Is it possible for the wood to not dry any in 8 months?
Even more horrifying is that there is some bad black mold, I guess it is mold on some of the boards. I confess, I dead stacked it in my basement last Feb and just left it. Lesson learned about stickering. Is the wood with the mold shot? I imagine it will plane off, but is it safe with a mask? I think there were some very light mold spots on it where it was stickered when I bought it.
Am I worried about nothing and will this plane right off? I hate to lose these boards, but health is more important.
This is the worst board. I had it on some cherry wood that was stored out in the weather, but covered, in my basement.
Thanks
