how do you store your staves?

ScottH:
I was wondering how everyone stores there bow staves before you start carving on them. ??? This hot weather that we have been having got me to thinking if where I store my staves at would be good for them. I store them in a small wooden utility building and it has been getting pretty hot in there even though I have a couple of windows open. Do you think the excess heat will damage the wood even though the humidity is not that low?

Your shed should be fine. Good air circulation helps reduce moisture to a good ambient amount. You can reduce it to where it needs to be as you build your bow.  I keep mine in my basement shop propped up against the block wall.    Pat

Pappy:
I keep mine in an open end barn,just so you keep it out of the weather they should be fine. :)

In the attic! Its way too cool up here in the Pacific Northwest. Helps to keep it up there since it gets a bit warmer in there.
