Hi, I bought the wood from a suplier who kept the wood in a place where other people keep there car (garage?) Then I left it in my house for a couple of months and I planed it to thickness, made the bracings and so on. Normaly in holland we have plenty of rain but the last 40 days it has been dry and the humidity droped below 40%, then it started raining and inside my house the humidity went up to 56%. I can controll the humidity with an airco but it makes a lot of noise and I drive my girlfriend nuts with playing the guitar allready so I dont dear to put her in the noise of the airco while she is sleeping [:)] But there comes a day that I have to glue and it must be at the right humidity or the guitar might crack later on and that would be a shame. So, the wood had 40 days at +/- 40% and then the last 1,5 week rising to 56%. I did not glue exept for the neck. Now almost all the wood is bent, planed to thickness and ready to glue but it has to be done in a short time span but when reading the post of John I think I just have to buy a dehumidifier and wait 1 or 2 weeks before gluing. Well, when I am dead I wont need the money so why not buy a de-humidifier.....? Rob.
