I agree. I recall reading that humidity much below 40% could cause cracking and permanent damage to the soundboard of my wife's baby grand piano. I can't imagine it is good to dehydrate gun wood and then take it out hunting in all kinds of weather. It would probably be best if your friend dropped the temp and raised the humidity gradually.

I have wondered if anyone makes a very small dehumidifier that would be suitable for 100-200 sq. ft.

Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

You won't have a problem storing cleaned and oiled guns at around 50-55% humidity.


Yes, and neither will you have a problem getting finishes to cure.
