The stage in the drying or wetting of wood at which the cell walls are fully saturated but the cell cavities are void of water, ranging from a moisture content of 25% to 32% for commonly used species. Further drying results in shrinkage and generally greater strength, stiffness, and density of the wood. (Ching, 1995)
