Taking the advice I've received on this forum, I've been avoiding doing any tillering during these high-humidity days of winter. I've stored my roughed out or half-done bows indoors where humidity is around 50% +/-. If I take the bow out to the garage to work on it (humidity 90%+), about how long can I work on the tillering before I'm causing more problems later on? Am I good for an hour or two or is any exposure to high humidity going to mess things up?
what kind of wood
An hour or two should be fine.

Red Oak & Maple boards.
Either of,those should do ok compared to hickory.
I've hunted with hickory bows in pouring rain storms with no ill effects...until tomorrow. Then it got a bit soft.
As long as you keep it in climate controlled house between work sessions high R/H shouldn't be a problem.
Thank you, all. I hate having unfinished projects laying around ;)
