When it comes to woodworking, it is generally advised not to work with wood that is too dry, below approximately 6% - 7% moisture content. Extremely dry wood can become brittle and may splinter easily during shaping or joinery processes. Furthermore, excessively dry wood tends to have difficulty holding fasteners securely, leading to potential structural weaknesses in finished products. To ensure the best results in woodworking, it's important to find a balance where the wood contains enough moisture content for flexibility and stability but isn't overly dried out.
