C'mon in and take a seat by the wood stove, it's nice and warm here in the barn!
But isn't a wood stove dangerous with humidity loss in the winter? Sure it is...so you monitor it, and you do what you need to do to keep it a safe 40%. You do to, don't you?
Scraps...we make a lot of them, and while we can't burn the conifer scraps, everything else that cant be used to make basses is saved and burnt in our wood stove during the cold winter months here in New England.
Occasionally a piece is just to pretty to burn...you know you cant make anything with it (bass wise!) but you save it anyway...you know, because maybe someday it'll come in handy? A knife handle...and inlay...and interesting extension? Who knows? So you save it...
