Cold weather stave storage
« on: October 12, 2007, 01:30:21 pm »
Does it hurt yer staves to store at below freezing temperatures.?
Winter is coming and I have a bunch of staves in a unheated shed.
I'm thinking it shouldn't hurt them but what do I know ???

I've never noticed any bad things from storing staves without heat, except maybe they dry more slowly .

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Never noticed any trouble if out of the sun and rain, but it doesn't get yankee cold around here.  Drier here in winter than summer, by a good measure.

Our humidity drops also but they are sealed, can get -20 degrees

I store allot of my staves in an un heated garage all year long. No issues. I am also in Michigan.....lower then you but probably similar temps.
