Re: Storing wood sets

I just bought a dehumidifier and I pick it up Wednesday. What you all said about cutting the pieces and let them get any contortions out of their system sounds like the best way to go.

Storing wood sets

My shop is 65rh and I'm looking for a air conditioner for summer comfort and humidity control. I don't want to shell out for a dehumidifier unles...
