			<description><![CDATA[ Old B said, &quot;Do you guys think there is enough interest in this to warrant further development of a bamboo rod climate box? &quot;
<br>
<br>
I think something like this may have a very limited demand for museum pieces. I personally would not see the need for one for my collection.

My .02$ worth.

			<description><![CDATA[ I know that if you run a dehumidifier in a house for too long, you can damage floors, walls, furniture and everything else that contains moisture. Too little
humidity is bad as is too much. Most wood floors must be acclimated to their environment before installation (particularly in coastal environments) because
they are kiln dried and will absorb moisture from the air therefore swelling and buckling if installed too quickly. Conversely if you dry a floor out after
installation by using a... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not meaning to throw credentials around, but I have nearly thirty years experience as a museum conservator (though not in bamboo), and I would second what Tom
says. Shoot for 50%  5% R.H. and around 70-72 degrees F, with as little seasonal variation as possible. Slow, cyclical variations are better than sudden,
rapid changes. If you can achieve anything close to that, you&#39;re doing better than most museums. The riskiest time of the year for most of you will
probably be the winter months,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I thought I had remembered that discussion correctly Tom.  Seems to make sense that bamboo would need some moderate level of humidity similar to nice
furniture.

			<description><![CDATA[ We did have a thread on this a couple years back, and a fellow with some museum experience weighed in. Very low humidity is not a good idea at all, something
in the moderate range is better for the cane. If you can avoid a lot of seasonal variation, that&#39;s good, too. I once had a friend stick a rod in a gun safe
with a goldenrod for the winter. The cane had shrunk enough that the ferrule fit went slack, and the ferrules reacted with the gunpowder solvents, and had
turned yellow.
