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.

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?

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.
