Yea Chris, why dont you post them here anymore- i for one( and i know many will concur) really miss seeing your bows     :(     - you build beautiful bows man!! and your input and insight was /is always so appreciated\\
X2 on the yew- if it will survive the low humidity, then anything will      

Photobucket sucks! If I could simply post the same edited pics straight from my PC like I do on PA. Id post them all here as well. Just add PA to your favorites bar and visit both sites, I do!

Use    Imgur   its simple and works

welded up a couple stainless troughs that hold 1gal H2O each to put on top of the open hot air duct in the shop.

Plugged in 2 good sized humidifiers I had in storage.

...31% and climbing...

It'll all work out.

Thanks for the help guys.
I'm glad I didn't just go for it...may as well play it safe.

By that chart that was posted, looks like 50% humidity is ideal.
Should be able to get it up there in a few days..or less.

Going to be a good few days before I can spend time on a bow anyway.

Once it's up to 50% I'll give the wood a few days to rehydrate and make something happen.


..you know...I have "friends" I see in person that are harder to get help from than you all here.

THANK YOU!
     

The wood will take all of seven days to reach equilibrium with your target 50% number.

Sounds like a good idea Chris.
