Correct me if I'm wrong, but over time yew would become somewhat dry over time..? Are both woods even as far as the humidity factor is concerned..?

Thanks for the comments fellas!

Bow101, I think what your asking is if I dried both pieces the same? Yes I dried them both in the same enviroment at the same rh. If you are asking about the resiliency of the wood taking on or losing moisture over time I cannon speak to that. I plan on sealing both well with poly and I always store my bows in a controlled environment.
