Think of it like this:

The moisture content of an object is the percentage of the mass (think weight for simplicity) of an object that is water. 6% of the wood's mass is water. RH is the percentage of the maximum amount of water that an air mass can hold at a certain temperature. Therefore, 100% RH is saturated. Any more water would precipitate out. 50% RH is 50% of the water it could hold before saturating at a specific temperature.
