Humidity check
Our furnace has been running overtime. Dryed out this maple back bad enough to break bracing. This had a 15' radius. I think I can save it. Maple is tough stuff.

Re: Humidity check
Ouch.
I struggle with the humidity changes with no controls in my work space. I'd be smart to only build in my area from about Feb to Oct including spraying. But alas, I want to build year around.
I'm sure you can fix it

Very litte runout, nice wood!
Yes you can fix that. Take the braces off and let it cure.

Re: Humidity check
I've got a 180 SF room for assembly and wood storage that humidity is controlled by an Inkbird Humidity Controller IHC200. There is a 2 gallon dehumidifier (w/hose to outside) and a 1 gallon humidifier (that needs filling daily sometimes) plugged into it. Set to 45% it works great. The humidifier needs to have analog controls. I got two humidifiers with digital controls before I figured that out
