Never thought about this before, but now I guess I should.
As some of you know from another thread, I bought a DIY guitar kit which I can't start assembling until the weather warms up so I can sand, stain and finish the parts in our garage. In the meantime, the parts are stored in their corrugated shipping box inside the house. Typically, in the winter months I keep Oasis humidifiers in my guitar cases, and it occured to me that I should also put one in the shipping box to keep the raw wood parts from drying out and cracking. I'll buy one anyway after the guitar is built, so it seems like a good idea.
Thoughts?
Please and thanks.

The area that stored wood waiting to be used in guitars at New Hartford was humidity controlled. If your parts are not stored in the 40%-50% range that IIRC is recommended then yes, you should humidify the parts.
