TurnDry

Know exactly when your wood is dry and ready to finish-turn.

TurnDry calculates how dry your wood is from its weight — so you can measure dryness accurately even below 5%, where most consumer moisture meters stop working. No more guessing, no more ruined pieces.

Moisture without a meter

Measure dryness below 5%, where meters give up.

Consumer moisture meters lose precision — or stop working entirely — at the low moisture levels that matter most for finish-turning. TurnDry takes a different approach:

  • Start with one reading. Record an initial moisture reading and weight for each piece.
  • Weigh over time. As the wood loses water, it loses weight — TurnDry converts that change into an accurate moisture percentage.
  • Know when it's stable. Watch the curve flatten so you know the piece has reached a stable state, ready to finish-turn.

Track every piece

Log a reading in seconds. Watch the trend at a glance.

Pop your piece on the scale, type the weight, and TurnDry does the rest — appending it to a detailed measurement log and updating the drying graph. Every piece keeps its own history, so you can compare species and track progress across your whole shop without ever touching a meter again.

Your data, your way

Local or in the cloud — and yours to take with you.

Keep your measurements on your device, or sync them securely to the cloud so they're backed up and ready wherever you track wood. Whenever you want them elsewhere, export your data with a tap.
