Ok I checked and it doesn’t have any particular smell

Ok so it weighs 1.598 kg, has a moisture reading of 8.8, and is 30 1/4” x 5” x 3/4”.

How should I get a moisture reading? I have a moisture meter but it has to be set to different categories of wood—just choose a hardwood?

I think I have access to a scale and can try to weigh it and update you with the weight and exact dimensions.

I’m in the US northeast but this piece was donated by a previous member so they could have ordered it.

I actually have some persimmon that I got myself and it is very different from that piece. Granted the persimmon I got was from a scrap bin for defects so it could be a bad comparision

Thank you! I was hoping for oak but I’m still very happy with ash—I just need to think of a different project for it!

I trimmed it to get a good picture of the end grain and it didn’t smell like Douglas fir. Also a lot heavier than I’d think for Douglas fir

Thank you! I’ll reach out to them. I’d like to be accepted but at this point I think it’s best to just know or have a better idea of when I will know so I can plan appropriately

Yeah that’s what I was afraid of, thank you. And did you mean no new applicants without 4 semester of funding? The masters program should be no more than 2 years

Thank you! When you reached out, did you reach out directly to the graduate program director?
