LOL- I was thinking cumpiano's book said something like "wood moisture concentration should be in that 6% range for being dried (meaning it's ready to use), but that cumpiano specified building guitars in seasons where humidity did not fluctuate to take advantage of 50% humidity levels in the shop. He even went on to write that in the seasons where humidity fluctuations were an issue, he focussed on repairs/other stuff. I cant remember if he built in spring/fall, and avoided summer / winter or vice versa- but I think it was the former.

(been 25 years since I read it though! )
