Wow, hearing about how some of you have to stash your staves in corners and under workbenches, it's like you don't have enough room to store all of your staves correctly.

Being new to bowmaking and not having very many staves of my own (yet) and being such a generous person, I'll tell you what I'll do for you unfortunate people with too much wood and not enough space. You send me the staves you don't have room for and I'll "store" them where I have plenty of space I haven't filled yet in my basement workshop that stays around 68-70 degrees, 50-60% RH, bug free and dry year round.

No, don't thank me now, I know it's a truly generous offer and I'm putting myself out a little to use my storage space for your staves but I'll find "some way" to deal with it. >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D ;D ;D ;D ;)

being a new to bow making the only staves I have are a coupe of red oak boards sitting on the basement floor...and 6 oak staves leaning against my pegboard in the garage.

The other oak log is laying on the gravel next to the pole barn.

I currenly have all my my staves leaning against the wall in a corner of my room. During the summer i put them in the attic sometimes if i want to speed dry a stave. My attic gets over 120 degrees in the summer.

My staves are stored standing up, in a spare closet inside the house (in order to keep the temp and RH at a constant).
