[Woodworkers] Christmas present help needed!!

[gcw804 at aol.com]

   I checked the boards with a Wagner moisture meter. They all range from 11% to 13%. My first reaction was – wow, Clint is right, way too high. But then I went around the shop and checked some cherry boards I’ve had stickered for months (project diverted due to Christmas J) and they are at 11%, as is my bench, as is a plywood box I’ve had for years, etc. So does this mean my shop stays at 11%? I guess since I don’t run heat or air continuously? I should meter the house. Do I need to bring moisture down in shop? But getting off topic (though a good one), does this say moisture is the issue or hard to conclude? Do I bring the moisture meter to HD (for cedar) and if so, what is acceptable %? 11% as is shop? Lower? 
 
  Sorry if it looks like I’m freaking out – it’s only because I am L
