Horn Storage
Stick Bender:
I acquired several pairs of water buffalo horn stocking up for retirement but I started thinking about storage my storage room in the summer runs between 35-50 % RH with the air conditioner & winter between 20-35 % RH I was wondering if there is a ideal way to store horn ? It's probably a moot question but never hurts to ask !
gorazd:
That will be busy retirement :BB ;)
Stick Bender:
Im 2 to 5 yrs away so I have time yet but good horn is getting harder to get plus a few of these are going to be long bow type like posted here ,eventually I would like to make a Ottoman style !
BowEd:
What you said seems fine.It takes a lot longer for humidity to infiltrate horn then wood or sinew.I keep all my natural materials in around 45 to 55 percent humidity.Same as when I made them when not using them.Analog humidity guages setting around do it for me.
Stick Bender:
Ok good you put so much time and energy finding the good stuff figured best to check I have humidity gauges all over my storage room the part obove the A/C vent gets the driest good place for hickory staves !
