No hot box for me and an average humidity of about 65-75% the whole time. I use "Mr Sunshine" and "The Breeze" to help me out. I tempered the bow as well, that drives moisture out.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Really! Good to know I was under the assumption that you didnt want to put them in direct sunlight or wind. But I guess if the back and ends are sealed it's no different then a hot box. What do you seal it with?

Blackhawk, Pearl Drums and Pappy thank you very much you guys are always so helpful. And I guess I should be the one apologizing for hijacking the thread but I do appreciate the info.

No sealing for me either. Just wood, sun and air.  Humidity plays a role.

No I didnt seal the ends either. I cut them long and snip the checks off when the time comes.
