| Description: |  | Lumber tester that compares the width of a piece of lumber after drying.  Practability seem limited and would require a different scale for each species as well as a specific width of lumber must be used to remain within the limits of the scale adjustment.  
Note that commercially dry was 3 to 5% and cabinet dry is 2% to 3%. |  |
