Thin Wood Humidor?

[Retired Scroller]

I live in a typically dry, arid climate in the US. The woods I order will start warping in a couple of days after I receive them. Has anyone made a device to store wood to prevent warping?

What needs to be done Dave is provide ample air circulation around all sides of the wood. The best way to achieve this is either lean the boards against a wall or work bench so air can circulate or stack and sticker the boards. That entails placing stickers or sticks between each board with weight on the top board. Leave the boards alone until they acclimate to your shops humidity or lack of.

That's how I'd do it if I had the space. Very nicely done, Dan.

Thanks. I have my wood spacers, top & bottom boards cut. Waiting on my next order to arrive.
