There is a very small arc, about 3 mm. I don`t have a device to measure humidity. The carbon doesnt require it, but the cedar will be affected if it is to moist. I like to seal the wood on both sides to prevent moisture getting in and possibly leading to cracking in the future.
I keep my wood in a metal server cabinet, and then put it in that room a few weeks to aclimatise before using it. The room can never be cold.
I guess i should pick up one of those devices to be sure, but the budget is a bit tight right now. I only build and invent new stuff and i have never sold anything. ^_^
That is why i have to do a kickstarter soon for 8 units, being an inventor and never selling anything is not economical.
I could also try to sell this prototype instead of crowdfunding and buy materials from that, but i need to buy a big roll of carbon to get a price reduction per square meter (100m is almost 40% cheaper per m2 then 1 m2).
I like the ideas of leveling in quality with the money from a crowdfunding, but building 8 guitars to order is s responsibility not to be taken lightly. I really like to have creative freedom in deciding what to do.
