One thing about this bow is it was only a matter of a few weeks from when Jesse finished it and sent it to Rob,
so I don't think the wood cured in that short of a time. Not to say there isn't a difference between dried and cured.
Just in this instance I believe it was low humidity that caused the weight gain.

I think it could be a difference in our scales  also. I had that stave in the hot box for two moths straight and it was already at 10% when it went in the hot box. I dont think it could have gotten that much drier. Not 8# in a few weeks .but ya never know :)
