You should have seen the looks I got from the sales lady when I told her what I was using the thermometer for.  I got a sweet double boiler for sinew there also.  It was only 14 bucks.  I'm pretty sure it was a store called Linens and Things.

Nice. I made one several years ago and when I use it, which is not that often, I put my Thermometer/RH meter in there to monitor both moisture and heat

Marc, I imagine when I have been at it as long as you I will have built up a good enough stash of staves that are already  cured too. At least that would be the goal.

Kayak its super easy to make and does'nt cost more than 30.00  click on the link above and you are on your way to having one.  Danny

I really need to build one!  I use Urac for my glue ups, and I keep my house at 65F.....that means no bow work at the moment!  I have a core ready for a hickory backing that is just sitting and mocking my non-progress!  Although Urac doesn't need heat.....it sure woudl be nice to have a spot to keep it above 70F!
