Ive never weighed a bow, used a moisture meter, or a humidy meter. If it "feels" dry after 6 months I use it.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

I dont think I have ever used wood that was "properly" seasoned.
Everything i have ever used has been the cut, split rough-out dry method, usualy indoors in a warm room. The only downside i can see so far is loosing timber to checking when i take my eye off the ball and dont think.
