Quick experiment. Comparing the resistance of dry wood, wet wood, human skin, and summer sausage.
Dry wood (open circuit)
Wet wood (tens of megaOhms)
Dry skin (MegaOhms)
Summer sausage (hundreds of kOhm - MegaOhm)
There is an order of magnitude difference in impedance between wood products and skin or flesh analogs. Fairly easily detectable difference.
Cavaet: wood that is soaked through could have a resistance comparable to human flesh, but why would you cut that on your tablesaw? Relative humidity should be around 3%-8%. Where’s @Wanderfound ?
