I use my skin as moisture meter...too cheap to buy one LOL.
Put the blank next to your skin (I use my face). If it is cold (damp like feeling) it is not dry.
What I do when I am not sure and wanted to use it right away is:
1. cut
2. drill
3. microwave (10 secs for 3-5 pairs of blanks)
4. if you see steam coming out...it is wet if not...
4. stand it on a plate or counter a couple of seconds. Check where the hole was after a couple of secs. If the plate or counter is wet...blank is wet. If not you are ready for glue up. I actually re-drill first before glue-up
5. If it is wet, I'll let it go through several cycles until dry. Each cycle is 10 secs on, 15 minutes cool down.
Be careful with it though..too much MW power can turn your precious blanks into charcoal. Do not let it smoke (you can smell it usually before you can see it) or steam too much.
Experiment and you'll learn it after a short while. I lost a few blanks doing it this way but no regrets...now I can turn a green wood any day I want. Just need a couple of hours wait [
