[Woodcarver] moisture content of basswood

[Marcia Berkall]

OK...I have a question...

I have located some basswood but it is still not dry. I'm told it is now at 
between 16 and 20% moisture content.  What is the ideal range for 
carving?  I was told that I could have it kiln dried to whatever percentage 
I want.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
