Spencer Griffin
project question – Which wood is most water resistant?
“I tested 74 pieces of wood from different types of trees to see how much water they would absorb. I put strips of different wood in a bucket of water over a weekend and weighed them before and after. I found that pine is the best wood for outside use, because it soaked up the leastt water and cedar soaked up the most.”
