  Well actually I beleive I read that wood takes on  moisture  7  times 
faster than it gives it up & think it was out  of Hoadleys Wood book. I'd have to 
go find it but I'm relatively sure that's  where this comes from. 
   Now wood in what form, living , cut & stacked  or a soundboard with a 
moisture barrier on it. Dunno.
  In what case would the information matter?

And if you ever find an authoritative source that says  wood takes in 
moisture slower or faster than it gives it up, please post  it here. I've 
looked for a long time, and haven't found anything anywhere  that says that.
