Tb104: An Analysis Of Moisture Content Variation In Eastern Spruce And Balsam Fir In Maine, James E. Shottafer, Allen M. Brackley

Technical Bulletins

This study was undertaken as an attempt to develop some estimate of the characteristic moisture content of green eastern spruce (Picea spp.) and balsam fir (Abies balsame a (L. ) Mill.), employing the methods prescribed under the Maine Weights and Measures Law. Certain procedural factors and conditions of growth were also considered, to evaluate their effect on the moisture content of the wood at the time of harvesting or shortly after cutting.
