Okay so my question is, since the weight of the stave is going up while just sitting in my loft does that mean its to equilibrium? Or dryer i guess?


I would say drier. Just remember that equilibrium is only good if the RH is right. For most bow woods that is apparently 45-50% RH. I've heard that Hickory likes 40-45% but I know nothing about Hickory.

Okay thanks DC... i made a place to keep bows at 45%  so hopefully that works
Why must we make simple things so complicated?

Let us know how long it takes to reach equilibrium again.
