As for selfbows, the season is over for most. Most will make bows when the humidity is low, to keep the moisture in the wood down. In my climate I can build all year but, this time of year is too dang hot.

I live in north central Florida and its very humid most of the time. I bought a used dehumidifier and built a 8 ft x 12 ft room in my shop just to glue up and spray finish in. I can pull more than a gallon of water out of the air with the door shut every 6-8 hours, I built a filter and exaust system for this room to bring in airconditioned air during glue ups. I just need to take and post some pics of my builds.

I've got a D bow finished except for a leather wrap on the handle.  We are having a house built, so the bow is on the back burner.  Hopefully I can finish it soon and post it.
