| - | When building a drying box for your staves, remember: warm air rises. If you are using a light bulb for heat, put the light bulb at the bottom of the box with vent holes in the top of the box. This creates a warm air flow as the heat rises - just what you want! Remember not to let the heat get above 100 degrees for safety sake. |
