I've got a shed in my back yard that I plan on building an overhang onto.  If I made a small horizontal rack under this overhang, enough so rain won't touch it, would it be a good idea to let them dry that way, or is the open-air drying not the way to go?

Eddie, I see you have one of Shannon's snaky staves. I've got one too but Shannon told me at the Classic they were heart breakers. Wear your hardhat and athletic cup when you start working on it.  ;D

I hung a bunch of split bamboo, staves, and other stuff in my overhang and everything turned green over time - not the best.

When first cut I store it up in the barn. It's a pretty tight metal pole barn so bugs are a minor issue. After I split them they hang in the floor joists in the basement.
YMMV...

Mine look like Eddies- a durn mess of horizontal, vertical, diagonal, upside down, backwards, and sideways. Never noticed much difference except that really green staves can warp standing up sometimes if they're leaning.
