The results of moisture content of wood after the process of its drying under high temperature conditions and air drying are presented. Wood samples, namely spruce (Picea abies Karst.) from the northern part of Pomerania region in Poland, were subject of steam and air drying.The aim of experiments was to measure moisture content of wood in its cross sections using moisture meter WRD-100. The samples of thickness 70 mm and length about 1050 mm were used. Wood moisture content was determined after drying process. The samples were machined by the modern narrow-kerf frame sawing machine PRW15M. Measurements of moisture content for steam dried and air dried samples, as reference, allowed to reveal the effect of drying process on moisture content of wood. It has been recognized that steam wood drying causes almost constant amount of moisture in treated material in comparison to air drying one.
