My woodshop is in a barn. It is not climate/humidity controlled and whatever temp it is outside, it is in the shop. I have a woodburning stove in there to warm it up while I work, but I was curious as to what the best thing to do with my wood overnight was. I noticed after thickness sanding that my wood was warping some, and I wondered if it was at least partially because of the dry, cold temps. Now that the top and backs are braced they aren't warping anymore but it was quite pronounced before bracing.
Should I bring the wood I am building my uke with inside overnight? I was debating if it was better to have it at room temp overnight then have it get cold again during the day while working, or if it was bad to fluctuate the temps that much and I should just let it stay at consistent cold and dry temps, since that is where I will be working on it.
Thanks
